[comp.sys.atari.st] GDOS --???

I almost hate to admit this, but after 3 years of ST'ing, I still have no
idea what GDOS can do for me or even what it really is!  I have seen a
posting for a German Program called Amcdos, does this mean that with this
program and some fonts I will be able to run programs like manual-maker
that require GDOS?   Are GDOS fonts available in the Public Domain?
What do I need to have to get started using GDOS? and can I do it without
having to invest any money? (I'm not that cheap, its just that I don't know
if GDOS will be of any use to me and I don't want to blow cash on something
I can't use!).   Please, all you GDOS experts out there, give me some tips!

I am starting to figure some of the Gdos mystery out.  Does anyone
know where I can find a public domain HP-DeskJet GDOS driver an a set of
fonts for it?  What about color monitor fonts?  Any help would really be
appreciated.  I am trying to get Manual-Maker running.  Any tips?
