The record sleeve software package
One of the trends in software packaging was use a sleeve not unlike
that of a record album. The detailed information about the use of
the software tended to be incorporated into the sleeve cover. The
idea was used by the Amiga, C64, C128 and even Windows used the
format. I have never been a fan as they are seriously difficult
to store. They do not fit in shelves and tend to lay flat with the
risk of being damaged. Fortunately with the need for much larger
manuals and technical details and disks the format all but dried up.
