Editor's note: The RPC broker development kit (BDK) comes with a Broker.hlp file that contains valuable information. However it seems to be Win95 technology, and doesn't work with newer versions of Windows Help. I found a program nammed Help Explorer Viewer that helped me get to the content. I found this help file to be very helpful and worth the study. -- Kevin Toppenberg, MD
