It seems a weird pile of stuff. The EXE are all small (which is OK),
a few of the DLL are pretty large.
$ file *
sbase.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
scalc.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
sdraw.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
senddoc.exe: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows
simpress.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
smath.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
soffice.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
soffice.bin: PE32+ executable (console) x86-64, for MS Windows
sweb.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
swriter.exe: PE32+ executable (GUI) x86-64, for MS Windows
mergedlo.dll: PE32+ executable (DLL) (console) x86-64, for MS Windows <=== large DLL
I guess I had been looking at it this way. And launching an item from here.
I can open LibreOffice Writer from in here.
explorer shell:appsfolder

The swriter task then launches the soffice exe and bin. The bin would
in another environment, be an executable too. The soffice exe seems
to drive the GUI, the soffice.bin is related to the program logic.
When they are launched in a different order (soffice.exe first),
then the swriter.exe is hidden, and my tools don't hint that it is
even being used. (The Process Explorer stack sample, does not even
hint at it, the soffice.exe seems overly curious about my video card
and that is about it). Perhaps this implies that all the EXE are loaded
within the actual boss.
If we were at police headquarters, I would put up a powerpoint slide,
showing a picture of this item, labeled "The Real Gang Leader". Doesn't
drive a fancy car, but is calling the shots. Even though its parent
is soffice.exe, all that soffice.exe has is the OpenGL viewing window
and not the program logic for opening .doc files.
swriter.exe <=== Enough of a wrapper, to launch the other two
soffice.exe <=== GUI render
soffice.bin <=== Program logic, suite members in here
"The Real Gang Leader"
This is almost as bad as working with Firefox Quantum in Windows, and
not having the tasks labeled properly. If you look in Linux, the strings
there hint at the arrangement. The Linux has better labels for
discerning who is the gang leader, and who drives the getaway car.
