GNU tar has compression built in, this does the same thing.
tar czf . file.tar.gz
On the old BSDi machine I used to do something like this:
tar cpvf - . |gzip -9 > file.tar.gz
Another useful thing is to make the tar archive on a different machine
using ssh.
tar cvf - source_directory | ssh user@remote_host 'cat > my-tar-file.tar'
