A reference guide is included (Catalogue no. 92F0193GWE).

The PCFRF is updated on a semi-annual basis. Updates are available in January and July of each year. Clients must purchase the PCFRF at the initial cost; then subsequent updated files (Catalogue no. 92F0193UCB) may be purchased at the update or subscription rate.
