Hi,
while porting RTC-lib, I've found, that the [urn] object in Zexy behaves slightly different from the one used in Max, Maxlib and Cyclone.
The difference is small but can be nasty:
[urn] in Max, maxlib and cyclone does not send out a random number if the urn is empty and the right outlet bangs. To clear the [urn] and start with a fresh supply, one has to manually send a "clear" message in Max.
[urn] in zexy however does send the new nummber directly and also automatically clears the urn. There seems to be an undocumented "noauto" flag in zexy-urn to control this behaviour. This flag defaults to "automatic", but I would suggest to make it default to the "manual" mode as in the other three [urn]s use to avoid confusion.
Nameclashes are bad only, if the behaviour you get differs.
