This construction provides a systematic way to find proper (8, 4, 4) linear block component codes for generating the Golay code, and it generates and extends previously existing methods that use a similar construction framework. The code constructed is simple to decode.To appear in IEEE Trans. on Information Theory Vol. 24 No. 8Information Theorytext
