The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) is developing a comprehensive set of programs to manipulate and analyze files in FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format. One consequence of this project is to greatly expand the usage of FITS from simply a transport or interchange format to a convenient and versatile format to be used directly for data reduction and analysis. The FTOOLS utilities are specifically being written to process the data from the Astro-D X-Ray satellite, but the tools themselves are very general and can be used to analyze any FITS format file. These utilities are built on top of the FITSIO subroutine library and are written in ANSI standard Fortran or C. The software is easily portable to different processing environments and will be available as an IRAF package as well as a set of stand-alone set of executable tasks on VMS or Unix systems. The current status of the FTOOLS project will be described along with plans for future enhancements.
