GNU Tar with compression for AIX 4.2 already compiled ?
Is there a GNU Tar available with compression option available for AIX 4.2 that I can directly use (not having to compile anything, simple installation) ?

How good is the compression rate of gzip when you use tar with the gzip option? I am pretty amazed that a 1 GB file was reduced to 1019K. This is what I did.

plscompression
PLSCOMPRESSION(3plplot) PLplot API PLSCOMPRESSION(3plplot)
NAME
plscompression - Set device-compression level
SYNOPSIS
plscompression(compression)
DESCRIPTION
Set device-compression level. Only used for drivers that provide compression. This function, if used, should be invoked before a call to
plinit(3plplot).
Redacted form: plscompression(compression)
This function is used in example 31.
ARGUMENTS
compression (PLINT, input)
The desired compression level. This is a device-dependent value. Currently only the jpeg and png devices use these values. For jpeg
value is the jpeg quality which should normally be in the range 0-95. Higher values denote higher quality and hence larger image
sizes. For png values are in the range -1 to 99. Values of 0-9 are taken as the compression level for zlib. A value of -1 denotes
the default zlib compression level. Values in the range 10-99 are divided by 10 and then used as the zlib compression level.
Higher compression levels correspond to greater compression and small file sizes at the expense of more computation.
