Useless use of cat. (IBM's fault, not Jay's :)  Should be:

        $ sort myfile.txt | uniq | wc -l

And actually, with modern versions of sort I think you could get away
with just:

        $ sort -u myfile.txt | wc -l

(I'm sorry, I know in this day of gigahertz processors and cheap RAM,
that I shouldn't be so pedantic.  But I am.)
