I'm not sure.  As Steven said, zip may be better.  Or Samba.

>Is pax also compress the size or not.

HP-UX's commands are not like Linux.  They can only do one thing at a time.  ;-)

You need to pipe it to gzip:

pax -w -v -x pax 44muf0cm_1_1 | gzip > test8.pax.gz

>But how can untar or unpax that particular file or folder on PAX utility.

pax like tar, will allow you to specify which files you want to extract.

pax -r -v -f test8.pax path-of-file-on-archive ...

>I run pax on 100 gb directory after put that file on tape library.

Probably no need for two steps, you can write it to the tape in one pipeline.
