Abstract
System and method for improved formation of a Q-parity checkbyte matrix used for error control for a sequence of message bytes and error control bytes, using an algorithm, rather than a lookup table, to determine the order of the words used for the sequence. Entries of a Reed-Solomon parity check rectangular array are set up sequentially and diagonally, including the syndrome bytes and checkbytes to be used for error detection, so that all matrix entries can be written to, or read from, a computer memory in a stream of bytes whose order is determined by the algorithm without reference to a lookup table.
