TAR does not do compression - except for the Linux version that has Lempel-Ziv filtering built in (you use that with the -z/-Z switches for compress/gzip).

The compression program (standard on all Unix flavours AFAIK) is called compress. And as I said, it uses an adaptive Lempel-Ziv coding scheme.
