Editor's note: The RPC broker development kit (BDK) comes with a Broker.hlp file that contains valuable information. However it seems to be WinXP technology, and doesn't work with newer versions of Windows Help. I found a program named 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 (July 2015)

Correction: I have found that an updated version of the help files can be downloaded here. Broker_1_1.chm DOES appear to work in Window 7.

The BDK files can be downloaded from here: Look for one of the .ZIP files.
