FK Utilities is a ProDOS Eamon utility disk created by adventure author and Eamon Deluxe developer Frank Black, which he made publicly available in the early 2000s through the Eamon Adventurer's Guild Online website. Black created the disk when he moved his work from DOS 3.3 to ProDOS in the 1990s; his DOS 3.3 file remain available on the FK Junk disk.
Some of the programs on the FK Utilities disk were created by John Nelson who assembled the Eamon Utilities series.

EAG webmaster Matthew Clark writes that the disk is "Frank's personal collection of Eamon utilities for standardizing Apple Eamon files and converting them to lower-case and Eamon 8.0", and notes that Black "doesn't remember what they all are."
