Well, it is just my copy. I just found the original site in my bookmarks:
http://www.on-line.de/~michael.hoennig/SO40.html
This Site is in german, hopefully you (or the altavista translator) can
understand it.

Maybe some kind of autosave?

This is how I did it (from memory):
Extracted the tarball, installed with -net option into /opt (the "patch"
needs it there, although you could edit the patch).
Extracted the patch and installed it like the README said.
Started /opt/StarOffice4/bin/soffice. It checked that I didn't have a
~/.sofficerc and copied some files to my ~ ( a tenth of the files it would
copy without the patch).
No problems whatsoever.
If you want to try this, make sure, you don't have a ~/.sofficerc
Good Luck,
Martin
