I hope I'm writing in the right corner, but I've found something, that might be 
an interesting enhancement of the openoffice project. I found out that if you 
compress all *.dll and *.exe with udx udx.tsx.org a freeware executible 
compressor, you can save about 50% of size. The hole programm is runing well 
after compression. I think many people will like it if the program can reduce 
size a lot.

I communicated with the author of this issue on upx compressing, however, 
it does not seem to work in all cases: 

- after compressing .exe files in the installation (so under openoffice60 
  directory) everything is fine (we used the option -9 with upx).
- further compression of all .dll files in the installation still results 
  in a working office suite for Benjamin, but I could not reproduce this. 

I decide to finally close this topic as an issue and forward the suggestion 
of using upx to the mailing lists.
