Of course, it could be the old OpenOffice/Star Office .swx format, which
the current OO should be able to read.

From the 4.0 Release Notes:


   Changes that Impact Backwards Compatibility


     Module binfilter removed

We no longer read or write the legacy StarOffice file formats (files with extensions .sdw, .sdc, .sdd, etc.). Removal of this code makes the OpenOffice codebase easier to maintain. The legacy formats have never been the default format in any version of OpenOffice. Users with legacy StarOffice documents are advised to re-save them into ODF format (*.odt, *.ods, *.odp, etc.) *before upgrading* to Apache OpenOffice 4.0. This can be done using File - Wizards - Document Converter in OpenOffice 3.x OpenOffice 1.x files (*.sxw, *.sxc, *.sxi) are still supported.
