copy list of folder names? OR create identical *empty* folders' directory? organizing
hey,
i've got a couple hundred folders with a variety of different files in each of them.
i want to create an identical copy of the folders but i want them to be *EMPTY* so i can use it as a file saving system on 3 different machines.
and then when i do backups everything will be in the properly named folder no matter what machine it was saved on.
doing it manually is not an option right this second.
and just copying all the folders over with evrything in them is not possible with the huge amount of files in the folders and file sizes.
i'm still running OS9 almost exclusively and am getting things neatened up.
any thoughts?

FoldersSynchronizer is an interesting tip but it doesn't do exactly what i need as far as i can tell.
AppleScript would be fine if you know of one that someone has written already. i took a look around a little and couldn't find one.
any thing like making an alias of the main directory aned then moving it to another location or something. i keep thinking there has to be a really simple work around for this.
