The relativistic effects on bound levels of atomic systems with particular application to systems of astrophysical importance are investigated by including the most important contributions to the low Z Pauli Approximation for the Hamiltonian. This work is an extension of a general purpose automatic computer program for calculating non-relativistic energy levels of complex atoms, described by Eissner and Nussbaumer (1969). The program should give fairly good intermediate coupling wave functions and it may thus be used as a basis for the calculation of intermediate coupling collision strenghts and oscillator strenghts. Numerical results are displayed for the Sodiumi sequence.
