[For the entire collection see Zbl 0721.00009.] In this survey paper the author discusses the weight distributions of certain families of codes. These families are related to families of elliptic curves over finite fields. The weight distributions turn out to be related to the distribution of the numbers of rational points on the curves in the family. The author discusses the Melas and Zetterberg codes [cf. \textit{R. Schoof} and \textit{M. van der Vlugt}, J. Comb. Theory, Ser. A 57, No. 2, 163--186 (1991; Zbl 0729.11065)] and binary Reed-Muller codes [the author and \textit{M. van der Vlugt}, J. Algebra 139, No. 1, 256--272 (1991; Zbl 0729.11066) and ``Reed-Muller codes and supersingular curves. I Compos. Math. 84, No. 3, 333--367 (1992; Zbl 0804.14014)].
