Thanx to everybody that responded with possible ways
to cheat at MORIA 3.0. After experimenting, it seems
that the easiest way to create a pumped-up character
is to drop a weapon on the dungeon floor, and then save 
the game. Then use a file editor program such as "NewZap"
to find where in the character save file the weapon is
that you dropped on the floor. When you find the record
that is the weapon's object structure in the binary save
file, change the amount of damage the weapon does. For example,
I had a character with a Longsword (+0,+0), and when I found
the structure for the weapon, I changed the amount of damage
it does from "1d10" to "44d100", then wrote the new, hacked
save file back out to disc.

	Finally, when I re-started the saved games, the weapon
was still there on the floor, and I picked it up. When I
wielded the Longsword, I now had in my hands a SUPER WEAPON
that does incredible damage. Even with a SUPER WEAPON, your
character is still vulnerable though, as I later found out
when fighting multiple Ancient dragons!!!
