+AlarmServer is used to set alarms such as clock or calendar applications.
+The Alarm Server manages a queue of alarms and notifies the user in conjunction
+with other Application Framework components. </p> <p>The AlarmServer maintains
+the queue of all system-wide alarms, this is known as Alarm handling. Session
+alarms are for a single session only and are completed when an alarm expires.
+Non session alarms occur if a session orphans its alarm by closing its connection
+to the AlarmServer. </p> </section>

+applications that require Chinese date support calcon is a calendar conversion
+utility which provides conversion between Gregorian and Chinese Lunar calendar
+dates. The conversion is restricted to date conversion – time conversion is
+not supported. Corrections have been applied where Chinese lunar days are
+deemed to start at times other than midnight. </p> <p>Julian dates are used
+for internal storage. A Julian date is a count of days from a point in time
+(defined as noon 24/11/4713 BC). Chinese Lunar calendar dates consist of: </p> <ul>
+<li id="GUID-9BA022D5-64C2-5D36-AD11-844183EBDA23"><p>Year cycle </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-9EFCC4A8-EF82-541D-B0A3-792CD1CD3144"><p>Year (1-60) </p> </li>

+<section id="GUID-6EB921E1-0048-5388-8983-87172763FAB3"><title>Help Model</title> <p>Hlpmodel
+enables the user to search for specific information on a help database. Help
+databases contain rich text formatted data (including pictures) and metadata
+used to identify help information for searching. </p> <p>The help launcher
+is a small DLL that allows the device-specific help application to be launched
+with a context sensitive identifier, so that a suitable help topic is displayed
+within the help application. </p> </section>
+<section id="GUID-D30706E5-7191-5349-A883-C200B73AFED1"><title>Time Zone Server</title> <p>Time
+Zone Server provides functionality to convert between UTC times and local
+“wall-clock” times. It allows for Daylight Savings Time (DST) rules and adjusts
+local times accordingly. This functionality applies to both the current locale
+and other specified locales. It also applies to any time, historical or future
+(within a given range) at the specified locale </p> <p>The application allows
+time conversion between UTC and local “wall-clock” time and automatic clock
+adjustment for daylight saving. </p> <p>The Time Zone Compiler creates a Time
+Zone Database for Symbian OS from the Olson Tz database, which provides a
+collaborative compilation of information about the world's time zones. </p> </section>
+<section id="GUID-4268D6AA-F468-5461-88A2-D6852D4AC69A"><title>Time Zone Localization</title> <p> The
+Time Zone Localization component provides localisation support for time zone
+names. The component makes use of the standard Symbian OS resource framework
+for loading localizable strings. This allows licensees to provide localized
+time zone and city name strings for target markets. </p> <p>Localizable text
+includes: </p> <ul>
+<li id="GUID-BEE1FDE0-3E2E-5F0F-82E0-C04711D6C4F2"><p>Time zone ID, generated
+by the TzCompiler </p> </li>
+<li id="GUID-C902710F-2EC0-5AD1-B3D4-FA9C7545A8C2"><p>Time zone standard name </p> </li>

+<section id="GUID-9DFB0954-9CDF-5DAF-BA7A-54A1D64833F7"><title>Versit</title> <p>The
+Versit component provides a set of classes that can be used by application
+or system developers to import and export data. The data is formatted according
+to a set of standards initially defined by the Versit consortium. </p> <p>The
+plain-text formatted data can be included in emails, saved to disk or transferred
+from one application to another using streams. Two specifications have been
+published: vCard for the transmission of contact information and vCal for
+the transmission of calendaring information. </p> <p>Although the information
+contained in contact data is different from that contained in calendar data,
+the basic formatting of the information follows the same style. It is this
+formatting style that has had a strong influence on the functional requirements
+of the Versit component. </p> </section>
