I guess we'll agree to disagree. Code 1 would be meaningless to folks,

Group1's address formatting application Code1
... is "correctly"
referenced as CODE-1 Plus.
I'm not familiar with that company or software. But, if I ever had a
reason to write about it, I would do the same thing I'm doing now with
the Coleco computer -- I'd try to find out if the letters are a valid
acronym, and then I'd make a decision. If I found out that "CODE"
does not stand for anything, then I'd write Code instead. I'd tell
anyone who had a problem with that to explain to me exactly why "CODE"
stands for and why they ever capitalized it in the first place. If
their answer is, "Nothing, and because the company's brochures told us
to," then I'd just laugh at them.
