	This is a known problem; check the archives under my name.
	Synopsis: when compiled with WITHOUT_JAVA, OpenOffice 2.*will
not save in "native" formats e.g. .sxw and .odt for Writer.  It will
save in "compatibility" (terminology mine) formats like .doc.
	I believe Java is only necessary for the compile phase; once
installed you may delete the Java port.
