   I'd suggest using lower-case letter for the c, s, p, rather than
upper, as it makes it much easier to read. The upper-case version
tends to make the letters and numbers merge into each other. With
lower-case c, s, p, the taller digits (or M) stand out:

  1c
  1cMs2p
  2c3s8p (OK, just kidding about this one)

   Hugo.
