This paper describes a project whose aim is to study the dynamics of a globular cluster system using an N-body code modified to include the gravitational field of an isothermal galaxy model. The galaxy and the globular cluster system have the same radii, are spherically symmetric and non-rotating. The evolution is to be followed up to a Hubble time.
