Compression with openssl

Hi ,

1-I need to know please if it's possible to compress using openssl?

Here is the version used:

Code:

openssl version -a
OpenSSL 0.9.7d 17 Mar 2004 (+ security fixes for: CVE-2005-2969 CVE-2006-2937 CVE-2006-2940 CVE2006-3738 CVE-2006-4339 CVE-2006-4343 CVE-2007-5135 CVE-2008-5077 CVE-2009-0590)
built on: date not available
platform: information not available
options:  bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(ptr,char) des(ptr,risc1,16,long) blowfish(ptr)
compiler: information not available
OPENSSLDIR: "/etc/sfw/openssl"

2-does the compression with openssl save space more than gzip command?

I have been compressing using a command like this:

Code:

openssl  aes-256-cbc -a  -salt -in  test.in   -out  test.txt.enc -pass file:./mypass.txt
