The construction, properties, and decoding of four nonequivalent[4,2]codes over the alphabet{0,1}^{8}are described. These codes are able to correct the following error patterns:1)error patterns containing one nonzero byte,2)error patterns containing up to three nonzero bits, and3)error patterns containing one byte erasure and at most one nonzero bit. In addition, all error patterns containing one byte erasure and two nonzero bits can be detected. These codes can be used in the
