Hi,

     The 'tar' command on unix has the feature to do both compress & gzip after
doing the 'tar'

    For tar & compress

    use this

                 tar -cfZ <the directory name> <o/p filename>

  For uncompressing & untaring the same

                 tar -Zxf <the file.tar.Z>



   For tar & gzip

             tar -cfz <the directory name> <o/p filename>

 For gunzipping & untaring the same

                  tar -zxf <the file.tar.gz>
