Not technically "win32", Saada wrote it to experiment with the new-at-the-time Windows 3.0 API (still 16 bit) while at Microsoft.

It's now in the public domain and should run under Wine on Linux, as well as 32 bit versions of Windows:

I don't know why I remembered it as win32 from when he wrote about it. Anyway. I remember downloading a save editor from AOL's software center, so the stuff on that page brings back memories. I had a broken 10+ MB save from trying to get every item and explore every block in every dungeon. I'd pile stuff up by category in the middle of town.
