Our library has a system called LIDDAS for delivering documents that arrive via interlibrary loan? I manage to get them downloaded as TIFF files but both Acrobat and Preview tell me the files are corrupt. This is very frustrating as the original files are deleted automatically five days after you access them. The online Help information is useless for Macs (still talking about system 8.0!) . Running OSX.3 and Internet Explorer 5.2. The default plugin does not work for these files.

Have you tried reading them with Photoshop or GraphicConverter? I have often found that one or both of these will open "corrupt" files that lesser apps baulk at.
