Line 3: Every house and business in the [[United Kingdom\|UK]] has been given a postal address by Royal Mail.

It is available in a variety of formats including [[Digital Audio Tape]] and compact ~~disk~~disc. A charge is made for lookup services or wholesale supply of PAF data. ==Structure of the file==
