LMRKLIST1.TXT

(Compiled by JRW)

This is a list of newly created landmarks. It can be deleted at any time with no repercussions, though it is useful for various things. As an example, if you delete LMRKLIST1.TXT right before tiling at 35cm, then after you have finished tiling you will have a list of all the landmarks at 35cm. This list can be saved in a different file and stored for future use. Also, the landmarks in LMRKLIST1.TXT are read by EXPORT, and these are the only landmarks exported. If a program wants to use LMRKLIST1.TXT when it does not exist, it either uses LMRKLIST.TXT or creates LMRKLIST1.TXT from LMRKLIST.TXT.

 Line 5:
-Searching through the code, I can't find a specific use for LMRKLIST1.TXT. It appears to simply be a temporary copy of LMRKLIST.TXT that can be used import/export. It is updated by procedures that add and delete landmarks. If a program tries to touch this file, and it does not exist, it is either created from LMRKLIST.TXT, or uses LMRKLIST.TXT instead of creating it.
