It might work, but it creates a compressed archive for each file being processed (and each of those archives has the same name) instead of creating one compressed archive containing all of the files being processed. (But I do not see an s modifier in the HP/UX tar man page.) And, it looks like the HP/UX version of tar wants -cv instead of just cv.) Furthermore it creates an uncompressed archive in the filesystem which the submitter of this thread wanted to avoid.

How about pax
Code:
find <your options and operands> | pax -w | gzip > /your/path/arhive.tar.gz
