At the Institute for Theoretical Astronomy we have formed a library containing about 120 standard computer programmes. They include calculation of rectangular coordinates and velocities from elements, Lagrangian interpolation, and orbit improvement by the Eckert-Brouwer method. For the investigation of the motions of the minor bodies of the solar system we have constructed a programme for integration with a variable step and making allowance for perturbations by all the major planets and for nongravitational effects. The calculation of the perturbations is carried out using Herrick's vector parameters by the method of variation of arbitrary constants. The programme has been used for studying the motion of P/Encke.
