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 wants to use LMRKLIST1.TXT when it does not exist, it either uses LMRKLIST.TXT or creates LMRKLIST1.TXT from LMRKLIST.TXT. This text file contains a list of newly created landmarks.

'''LMRKLIST1.TXT''' can be deleted at any time with no repercussions. However, it is useful for various things.

For 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. You can then save this list in a different file and store it for future use.

Also, the landmarks in '''LMRKLIST1.TXT''' are read by [[EXPORT]], and these are the only landmarks that get exported. If a program tries to use '''LMRKLIST1.TXT''' but it does not exist, that program creates an '''LMRKLIST1.TXT.'''

Another important input file which should be read instead of [[LMRKLIST.TXT]] is [[LMRKLISTX.TXT]]. In the limit of a very large number of landmarks > 20 K, reading the [[LMRKLISTX.TXT]] file when you load a landmark into [[lithos]] will result in substantial time savings compared to reading the [[LMRKLIST.TXT]] file.
