Reimar, since structures can't be compared by using the EQ operator,
there is no way to use UNIQ on them.

To the original poster, it looks like you will have to make your own
version of UNIQ, which compares the individual fields of the
structure. It's not hard, since the logic of UNIQ is fairly simple.
