The dynamical evolution of a small number of protostars formed by the fragmentation of a dense molecular cloud core are considered, taking into account in a simplified way the dissipative encounters between the protostars caused by the presence of their concomitant circumstellar disks. For an initial system of two stars, the resulting binary parameters are determined essentially by the initial angular momentum and to a lesser extent by the rate at which the accretion disks evolve. For an initial system of three stars, however, a narrow range of initial conditions leads to a broad spread of final configurations.
