Hello GSers,

	I'm still kinda new to GS (coming from Mac and Unix world) and am
having trouble distinguishing the difference between GS/OS and file 
systems like ProDos 8 or 16.  

	What does ProDos 8 or 16 do?  Are these just file systems of
different block sizes or what?

	Does GS/OS have the Finder, Desktop, System, etc. files located
in it?  I don't have a copy of GS/OS, ie. it didn't come with my new
Apple IIGS; I've been looking at some game s/w that can boot from the
floppy drive.

	What's a good source of overall GS descriptions and explanations?
I didn't get any manuals from the Computer Store, either.

	Thanks in advance!!!
