You should try Iconshop, it's Freeware. http://users.pandora.be/liontech/

What version 1.444? The latest alpha version is 1.20.
Iconshop handles alpha transparency since version 1.14. Make sure you don't download version 1.13 because indeed it doesn't support 8 bits transparency. Download the 1.20 alpha and you should have no problem.

Oh and once you convert the Mac icons to Windows, keep them for yourself and do not upload them here, because of copyright issues.

Does Iconshop have the ability to interact with Icon Packages?

What do yoy mean "interact"?
IconPackages are just zipped ico's.
But if you're asking if you can zip an IconPackage directly with IconShop, then the answer is no. Make your icons with IconShop (ico format), then package them up with IconPackager.

Iconpackages as in Mac themes made with IconDropper by the IconFactory, usually referred to as IconDropper packs ? IconShop reads those fine.

Does Icon Packager only work with Object Desktop, or will it run correctly on a W2K machine?

Icon Packager can be installed seperatly. You don't need any other other Stardock product. Although the Icon Packager program works with any version of Windows, certain packages are created for XP only, since XP icons can have 8 bits transparency while other versions can only have 1 transparency color.
