UGE - Universal Game Editor
This is a 1990s game editor that allows hex-editing of most save game files, but not all.
It works in decimal numbering, handy when hexadecimal is not your forte.
You create Module, mdl, files that name and list the possible alterations. (Alternately, you may find the mdl files on the internet.)
Lst files are text files that give names and definitions for each variable in a given mdl file.

UGE won't run natively on Windows 10, but DosBox will run UGE normally.
Topic "DosBox Configuration File" shows you how to set up DosBox for UGE.

(Create a folder called OldGames and put the UGE folder there. I assume the use of UGE10 for the UGE folder name.)
If you exited out of UGE, DosBox is still running and you want to restart UGE, just type UGE and hit Enter.

Snag from much older versions of Windows, when looking through folders for save games, "Ravenl~1" is Ravenloft 2 and vice versa...

For an understanding of UGE, see the "UGE - FRUA Hacking" topic:
