Abstract :
The burst- 
distance between two binary vectors is defined and shown to be a metric. This definition is applied to a binary-input, -ary output channel where errors occur in bursts. A decoding algorithm is presented for such a channel that is an extension of Weldon\´s [2] weighted erasure decoding. Examples are presented illustrating the techniques.
