I agree with Allen that you will need separate MUD folders. But the MUD
folder needed (eventually) in a User's Documents folder in OS X can be kept
(loose) on a separate data partition, with an alias to it in your OS X user
Document folder. And your Classic MUD folder can be kept in your [classic]
Documents folder on the same Data partition, with an alias to the entire
classic Documents folder on your OS 9 system partition. No conflicts, no
problems. You can even keep an alias to your [classic] documents folder in
your OS X Users Documents folder ("Documents" folder containing a
"Documents" alias). No problem. Anyway, once Entourage for OS X is released,
most people will (sooner or later) just import everything from the Classic
version to it, and never use the classic version again. so all this will
become academic fairly quickly.
