Bash - remove duplicates without sort

I need to use bash to remove duplicates without using sort first.

I can not use:
Code:
cat file | sort | uniq

But when I use only

Code:
cat file | uniq

some duplicates are not removed.

NAME
prezip, preunzip, precat - prefix delta compressor for Aspell SYNOPSIS
precat [-dzhLV] [-cfksSq] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
prezip is a a prefix delta compressor. It is not a general purpose compressor and should only be used on sorted word lists or other simi- lar text files. It will likely increase the size of binary data. If invoked as prezip, the default action is to compress. If invoked as preunzip, the default action is to decompress. If invoked as pre- cat, the default action is to decompress to stdout. If no file names are given then prezip will compress or decompress from the standard input to the standard output. Short flags can be com- bined so that "-c -s" is the same as "-cs". OPTIONS
-h --help display help -d --decompress force decompression -z --compress dorce compression -L --license display software license -V --version display version -c --stdout decompress to standard output -f --force force -k --keep keep input files -s --sort sort and remove duplicates before compressing -S --nocwl do not rename .wl suffix to .cwl (use .wl.pz instead) -q --quiet suppress all warnings AUTHOR
