running "classic" program in Snow Leopard

There is one program that I want to run on my iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.1 installed that will run in "Mac Classic Mode Only." ( http://reallegal.com/softwareDownloadETranscriptViewer.asp).

Is there way way to run such a program in Snow Leopard?

iMac 24", Mac OS X (10.5.6)

The only emulator for running Classic apps I know of is SheepShaver, and from what I've read (though not confirmed) it doesn't work under Snow Leopard (not surprising; SheepShaver hasn't been update in over three years, from what I can see). It also requires the ROM image from an older Mac, and if someone had access to an older Mac to get the image, they could just run the app on that older Mac.

So I think that the ability to run Classic apps is now completely dead as of Snow Leopard.
