=============
tar is a "tar archiver". it supports compression, but the result is no
different that compressing a tar file.
try piping though bzip2... or create a temp-file, and compress it however
you like....
one step or two... it often depends on how unreadable you want to make the
command. there's nothing wrong with doing it in two steps, if it works.
