ProDOS 1.8 is INCLUDED with GS/OS 3.0 and the other goodies on the new
Software System 5.0 disk.  Unless you want the manuals ($49 - probably
not), you should be able to make (have made?) a (free) copy at your authorized
Apple Dealer if you walk in with your current System disk.

Many (most?) user groups have entered into a licensing agreement with
Apple which permits them to make copies of system software for their
members.  If you have the time (2 hour at 1200 baud?) and the money
(for the connect time) you can download Software System 5.0 from
Compu$erve or Genie.
