Kevin,
   It isn't clear from your posts which, if any compression schemes your 
legacy app supports.  LZW was patented by Unisys for a long time and 
many versions of LIBTIFF disabled the code to support it.  You might try 
the -c packbits option with tiffmedian to see if it can read files 
compressed with that algorithm or run your newly minted palettized 
images through tiffcp  to apply one of the other algorithms to see if 
the issue was the Unisys patent on LZW compression.

Richard
