            Abstract : 
A class of self-orthogonal block codes is described, which are easy to decode and to augments. They are constructed by forming parity-check equations across certain patterns of information digits arranged in a 2-dimensional array. The codes are of a rate close to the optimum for self-othogonal codes.
