A client converted a rollover IRA in 1998 and elected to spread the income over 4 years. He now wants to make contributions to a Roth for 1998 & 1999.
Is is necessary or advisable to keep these two accounts seperate? ...or can the contributions be added to the Roth Conversion account?

Originally it was recommended to keep them separate, but things have apparently changed.
