Mac emulator which runs on WinXPH?

ceg

I'd like to port my screensavers over to a Mac computer. Is there a
freeware Mac emulator which runs on WinXP Home that will allow me to do
that? I'd also need a screensaver authoring program that would work
properly under that emulator. And...can any of you MacHeads tell me what
the current archiving software is for the Mac? The popular one used to be
SIT. Thanks.

PearPC should do, but you will need a license for Mac OS X.
The other ones I know are only for old Macintosh and do not run newer
Mac OS...

Renan,
I am interested in mac emulators for the older macs which would work on
XP, which ones do you recommend ? (as old as it gets, eh?)

As Renan noted, pearpc is the choice for an emulator.

With Mac OS X one can get a free on-line Apple Developer's Connection
membership to download XCode / Interface Builder (you know, the dev
tools NeXT used to charge $7,995 a license for).

Since Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, .zip is the standard archive format for
Macs and is built-in. Support for older systems is a bit awkward, so
Stuffit's extended ``.sitx'' format is sometimes useful to move things
to older systems.

It is not quite freeware, time-limited (until December 2006):
www.ardi.com .

Emulates "Classic" Mac (Motorola 68000-based), but no networking/serial
port support.

I ran old Mac applications, like Adobe Illustrator and a few games,
successfully on it.
