Abstract
A computer program for calculating orbits and Poincare sections in the classical Coulomb three body problem with arbitrary masses and charge s in three dimensional space is presented. The regularization procedur e necessary to obtain a reliable numerical integration of the equation s of motion is sketched. Different configurations of the helium atom a nd the positronium negative ion (Ps(-)), obtained with the program, ar e analysed.
