Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

If you are concerned with preserving features such as resource forks (for custom icons e.g.), parent folder, and extended attributes, ditto is the tool of choice.
I will look into "ditto" man page

If you are not comfortable with shell scripting, you can use AppleScript GUI scripting to invoke the "Compress …" menu item and bypass shell scripting entirely.
no i dont hate it so much. :) I know that shell scripting is a very powerful way of accomplishing many useful tasks (at times better than even applescript). And I know that GUI scripting should be the last resort
