compress is the traditional unix way.

See man compress

But these days I think gzip is regarded as superior.

compress will always be available but isn't too good

gzip is pretty good

zip is fairly good and works with Windows including password things.

bzip2 is far better compression that the ones above but takes a bit longer to compress.

All above are available for hp-ux

bzip is there which is a better compression tool than gzip.

You can get bzip2 for hpux here
