The revision of the Stodółkiewicz's Monte-Carlo code is presented. It treats each superstar as a single star and follows the evolution and motion of all individual stellar objects. The first calculations, for equalmass N-body systems with three-body energy generation accordingly to Spitzer's formulae, show good agreement with the direct N-body calculations for N = 2000 and 10000 particles.
