Blow me down with a feather. I forgot about "-".

Hides head in shame.

      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

      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
