Canvas 2.0 can read TIFF.  I use it all the time.  Digital Darkroom
can export its halftoned images in a 1-bit TIFF format, which I can
read with Canvas.  Canvas does not write TIFF (odd).  Once in Canvas,
there's no need to use MacDraw, that I'm aware of.

Public? There might be some low cost shareware.  I recall seeing
Giffer and Vision Lab having many options on import and export.  I'd
be suprized if TIFF wasn't one of them.  TIFF specs are reasonably
easy to obtain, I think.
