+Symbian support in SILC Toolkit is still experimental.  By default all
+feature and components delivered with SILC Toolkit are supported on
+Symbian.  However, there are some certain issues with the Symbian version
+of the SILC Toolkit
+
+<br />&nbsp;<br />
+<li>The function <tt>silc_schedule</tt> on Symbian will return immediately,
+instead of blocking the calling thread/process as on other platforms.  On
+symbian the function is equivalent to <tt>silc_schedule_one</tt>, and that
+function should be used instead.  The design of SilcSchedule on Symbian
+enables efficient data I/O even when <tt>silc_schedule_one</tt> is called
+from a timer task.  The data I/O is scheduled separately by the Symbian
+Active Scheduler and the SilcSchedule will merely schedule timeouts.
+
+<li>The function <tt>silc_client_run</tt> on Symbian will return immediately.
+On symbian the <tt>silc_client_run_one<tt> should be used instead.  It can
+used from a timer or from an idle task.
