James,

Maybe not.  Have you looked at your /usr/bin/openoffice4 ?

On my Slackware system, I have a /usr/bin/openoffice4 file and it is a 
shell script which invokes /opt/openoffice4/program/soffice with "$0" as 
an argument.

Shell scripts are marked executable, but they are not a binary. You can 
read them as plain text.
