Monster combat in Battle Royale II.

FK Junk is a DOS 3.3 Eamon utility disk created by adventure author and Eamon Deluxe developer Frank Black. Black moved his work to ProDOS in the 1990s, leaving the earlier DOS-based versions of his utilities on his FKJunk disk which he made available for download through the Eamon Adventurer's Guild Online website.

EAG webmaster Matthew Clark describes the disk as containing "the remains of [Black's] DOS 3.3 utilities, along with some other mixed nuts..." Other than copies of the Dungeon Edit programs (versions 6 and 7.1), the most complete and sophisticated utilities on the disk include Battle Royale II, an enhanced version of the earlier monster battle program by John Nelson, and Black's programs for spell-checking and proofreading description files.
