yes entirely possible..  or if you have gnu tar use the -z option to
compress within tar.

e.g (to store to file): tar cf - *.c compress - > filename.tar.Z

or a more whizz bang approach which might not be a appropriate

tar cf - *.c compress -c - rsh remote_box '(cd /diff/dir && zcat - tar
xvf - )'

thanks

Subject: [ukha_d] Unix help needed

Sorry for the OT post but I am in need of some Unix help.

I have got to tar and compress some files up but they will not fit into
the new location until they are compressed and they are too big to be
tared in location.

Basically can pipe a tar into a compress ie

Tar blah.tar * compress

Is this possible?

Regards Ben
