This report summarizes the  activities of muon algorithm group  during
the months of July and August, '98. 
 
 We have completed a first version  of the muon_geometry package which
follows the standards  set by the geometry group  for all the geometry
packages and has been released as version v00-00-02 in the end of July. 
 
 We have separated   muon_index package,  from mureco   reconstruction
package, which describes  individual detector elements  using a universal 
muon_index class. This  package   provides   utility   functions  such  
as   index   validity checking. The package  has been released as 
version v00-00-04. 


 We have  updated mureco package  which now uses muon_geometry package
as required  by the June milestone  and dropped all of the  
references to the  old geometry package that was  developed as a stop  
gap measure. This  version has been released as v00-02-10. 
 
 We have  implemented the forward  pixel detector in d0gstar which was
missing in  the previous versions. 
 
 We  are working  on raw  data  unpacking  and packing  classes. These
packages  are universal   to all   of  the  d0   detector  systems  in
principle. The  calorimeter  algorithm group   has successfully used  
this  unpacking class. 
 
 Work on the muon global tracking  using trf++ is  in progress. We now
have  about  90% of code that  is needed to be written.   The code has been
also  successfully compiled. 
 
 We  had a  meeting with   NIKHEF  group. At  the meeting,  the  group
expressed interest in tracking (including level3) and the event display for 
the muon  system.  They already  have  a working event  display  for ATLAS
based on WIRED.  We are optimistic about their involvement in the muon
software development.
