First there are a number of programs that convert TIFF files from one form
to another. 

You don't state your platform but on the PC side there is Hijaak (commercial)
or vpic (shareware) will read a tiff file and save in another form.

Mac side has a couple as well, Imagestudie, colorstudio, Image and photoshop
come to mind.

BUT... I will go on to say...

It is infinitely easier to WRITE a proper TIFF file than it is to READ the
7 trillion possible variations of TIFF files!!
