That's not what the normal packaging for OS/2 looks like. I'd say that
it's more of a program for OS/2, than the operting system it's self.

If you go to google and do a "Image" search for ibm os/2 warp packaging,
you'll get a lot of hits.. The first two images that came up on my
search, had pictures of the "Red spine" and "Blue spine" versions.

Blue spine = with windows 3.1 support.
Red spine = without windows 3.1 support. (It relies on you already haing
the win 3.1 floppies.)
