Definition of CI, CF etc on FMS approach displays

Can anyone point me to an official definition of the various points located on FMS precision and non-precision approaches (CI, CF, etc)? Many thanks in advance.

The official description can be found in the Arinc 424-18 document which is not available without paying but a good explanation of all the leg types can be found in www.acac.org.ma/Ateliers/2.ppt

M is the MAPt

The SECOND LETTER relates to the type of app ie
I - ILS
D - VOR/D
V - VOR

Many thanks to all for your responses, but BOAC & DuneMentat, that link doesn't work. Do you have an alternative?
