The images are 'Deflate' compressed. TIFF is kind of
a garish format, but Deflate is certainly not among
the uncommon ways of compression.

Try e.g. :

Gimp (free, various platforms)
ACDSee (my own favourite for Windows)
IrfanView (free, Windows)
XnView (free, Windows)

On RISC OS you're probably stuck. Which reminds me that
implementing Deflate in Translator's TIFF decoder is
probably a good idea (it 'only' does none, huffman,
CCITT group, packbits and LZW) ...
