iunirand, kunirand, aunirand. Covered in the manual as "xunirand",
under "x-class noise". There are ten more with different random 
distributions.

The initial letter "x" indicates that an opcode can be run as 
i- (init), k- (control) or a- (audio) rate. Note that the initial 
letter of the output variable (i, k or a) has to match.

Which manual? In mine (the one which came with the ppc version) they don't
seem to be covered, nor are in the old word-format manual.
Where could i find a complete one?

Thanks
Maurizio

it used to be in a document called "NewOpcodes2.README" distributed with
the csound.ppc package  (written by Robin Whittle)  .. is it not there
now?
