Comment 56 for bug 527938

Ah, this flame war, thanks for reminding, I have a reply to comment #24 to add:

> You can’t seriously compare a software with it’s own executable and own focus

Ha ha. Note that the "own executable" for Base is just a minimal wrapper that starts the very same soffice.bin executable that handles *all* LibreOffice aspects: Writer, Calc, Base, etc. In fact I don't even know why we bother to ship a separate Base "executable" (sbase.exe) on Windows. As far as I understand, we could instead just have the Start Menu entry for Base run soffice.exe with the appropriate command-line option to make it start as Base, or have an already running soffice.bin open up a new empty Base document, or something.

(On Unixes, it is a bit different, there people might be used to start Base by entering an explicit oobase or sbase command.)
