In this paper we consider binary linear codes spanned by incidence matrices of Steiner 2-designs associated with maximal arcs in projective planes of even order, and their dual codes. Upper and lower bounds on the 2-rank of the incidence matrices are derived. A lower bound on the minimum distance of the dual codes is proved, and it is shown that the bound is achieved if and only if the related maximal arc contains a hyperoval of the plane. The  binary linear codes of length 52 spanned by the incidence matrices of 2-$(52,4,1)$ designs associated with previously known and some newly found maximal arcs of degree 4 in projective planes of order 16 are analyzed and classified up to equivalence. The classification shows that some designs associated with maximal arcs in nonisomorphic planes generate equivalent codes. This phenomenon establishes new links between several of the known planes. A conjecture concerning the codes of maximal arcs in $PG(2,2^m)$ is formulated.

In this paper, we give a connection between incidence matrices of affine resolvable balanced incomplete block designs and rectangular integer matrices subject to certain arithmetical conditions. The definition of these terms can be found in paper II of this series or in (2). For some necessary conditions on the parameters of affine resolvable balanced incomplete block designs and their properties see (2).

Let it be required to arrange v elements into v sets such that each set contains exactly k distinct elements and such that each pair of sets has exactly λ elements in common (0 < λ < k < v). This problem we refer to as the v, k,λ combinatorial problem.
