Take a look at the FAQ for sci.space.  It is stored on ames.arc.nasa.gov
in the directory pub/SPACE (?).  It consists of 15 parts and last I
remember it had some pointers to doing multi-body orbit simulations.
  FWIW, make sure in your calculations that the time interval between
successive calculations is fine enough otherwise you *will* get
round-off errors
