Index marks/temp marks

Writing an index mark or temp mark in a file enables you to quickly access desired position in
the file with the same operations used for fast-forwarding, rewinding or skipping to the start
of a file. Files created using this voice recorder have index marks written to them. It may not
be possible to write index marks to files created using other Olympus recorders. Files to which
index marks cannot be written have temp marks written. Additionally, temp marks are written
to files created with other than Olympus devices.
