+<big><b>Platform Implementations</b></big>
+
+<br /> <br />
+This document describes the implementation issues with different platforms
+that the SILC Runtime Toolkit support. Some of the supported platforms
+does not support all the features delivered with the Toolkit or they may
+behave differently from other platforms.

+
+<b>Supported Platforms</b>
+
+<br /> <br />
+The Toolkit supports by default all Unix and Linux platforms, Windows
+platforms from Windows 2000 and newer, Mac OS X and Symbian OS.
+
+<br /> <br /> <br />
+<b><a name="unix"></a>Unix Implementation</b>
+
+<br /> <br />
+All features and components delivered with the Toolkit work on all
+Unix and Linux platforms. There are no special Unix platform related
+implementation issues with current version of Toolkit.
+
+
+<br /> <br /> <br />
+<b><a name="windows"></a>Windows Implementation</b>
+
+<br /> <br />
+By default all features and components delivered with Toolkit are
+supported on Windows. However, there are some certain issues with the
+Windows version of the Toolkit.
+
+<br /> <br />
+<ul>
+<li>Some of the network routines do not support IPv6.
+</ul>
+
+<br /> <br /> <br />
+<b><a name="macosx"></a>Mac OS X Implementation</b>
+
+<br /> <br />
+All features and components delivered with the Toolkit work on Mac
+OS X platform. There are no special Mac OS X platform related
+implementation issues with current version of Toolkit.
+
+
+<br /> <br /> <br />
+<b><a name="symbian"></a>Symbian OS Implementation</b>
+
+<br /> <br />
+Symbian OS support in Toolkit is still experimental. By default all
+features and components delivered with the Toolkit are supported and
+should work on Symbian. However, there are some issues with the Symbian
+version of the Toolkit of what Symbian developers need to be aware.
+
+<ul>
+<li>The function <tt>silc_schedule</tt> on Symbian will allocate new Active
+Scheduler Waiter and will block the calling thread. The caller should
+allocate Active Scheduler before calling <tt>silc_schedule</tt>.
+
+<li>When adding timeout tasks to SILC Scheduler the SILC Scheduler is woken
+up after the timeout task has been added. This allows adding of the
+timeout tasks from Symbian active objects outside the SILC Scheduler loop.
+On other platforms this wakeup operation is not performed.
+
+<li>Adding fd task to SILC Scheduler will not schedule the fd for any
+operation. Instead, programmer should use SILC Socket Stream API and SILC
+Fd Stream API on Symbian when dealing with file descriptors and sockets.
+These APIs provide asynchronous notification when data is available and can
+be written.
+
+<li>The function <tt>silc_thread_create</tt> on Symbian will install Active
+Scheduler and allocate Cleanup Stack for the new thread. The created
+thread always shares heap with the parent thread.
+</ul>
