A very good question, especially since both were designed by Peter Newton.
A paper by him and others describing both systems (which should illuminate
the differences quite clearly) is available at

	<ftp://ftp.cs.utexas.edu/pub/code2/wet94.ps.Z>

Other documentation about CODE is available via the CODE home page:

	<http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/code/>

If you are interested in an overview of CODE, I recommend the following
paper, which is a bit out of date but nonetheless a good introduction:
