Yup. Switching from the win32 command to a unix command in order to run the code on unix is a good idea :)

With that change made, the code should run correct on any system that has a sort command that takes a -u option. If that is not the case on your system, you will need to investigate the syntax for the command options on your machine, verify that the command is being run correctly, and generally work out why your system is different.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
Lingua non convalesco, consenesco et abolesco. -- Rule 1 has a caveat! -- Who broke the cabal?
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
