generates a code of length 18 over Z2[X]/(X^3) who´s minimum homogenous weight is 16.

Homogenous weight enumerator: w(x)=1x^0+78x^16+128x^18+32x^20+16x^24+1x^32

The gray image is a linear code over GF(2) with n=72, k=8 and d=32.
As d=32 is an upper bound for linear (72,8,2)-codes, this code is optimal over Z2[X]/(X^3) for dimension 8.
