Abstract
The theory of weight distributions of irreducible cyclic codes over a finite field has been extensively developed by R. J. McEliece and others. We apply that theory to compute the weight enumerators of some binary codes which have hitherto not been possible. In so doing, we correct an error by McEliece and describe his process in somewhat more detail.Keywords
