Is it possible to work on the ONEXIT command. I seen a thread from 2007 that showed that Guino had added this. But recently this doesnt seem to be working.
Thanks in advance for the work

Mitch, are you guys seeing noticeable performance improvement these days with the RR core as you pull more stuff out of it and into plugins? Performance hasn't been an issue for me, just curious.

Thanks for the great work guys!

does that mean i can't use my Cinergy radio anymore??

for you, i wouldnt update, till i get the module for it done
id love to have one of these radios in hand... from what i hear
they are rare and hard to get...
even if i code the module, it will be impossible for me to test, without the tuner, i could use your help to test... you might be the only one actively using it

i do know, ill try to get the basics done for it 1st

i got a fast pc, and havent noticed anything performance wise, i dont expect to see and performance change, the radios never really used that much cpu%
its just a cleaner core of code...

i wonder what i am going to do when i will start getting the nag screen..They are indeed rare, but in my opinion are one of the best. i remember guino used to have one (i think). of course i will help..

that is a backsided complaint, and not necessary... its NOT gonna take me 3 months to get something coded for cinergy!!
yea.. G has one, but we cant get to it... long story
i should have basics done for it soon

OH, what is the exact model information on the cinergy?

Robby BMW had coded most of the stuff for the cinergy 600. here is the original thread he is the expert
Cinergy 600 users wanted (enhanced RDS support available)
