export WITH compress

Hi,
doing an export of my 8.1.7.1 DB on AIX 433-09 will result in a file greater than 1 GB. This seems to be larger than allowd. So i defined export to use multiple output files with a maximum size of 500M each. Now it works, producing 3 files. The first version of my export script does a compress after the export has finished to save disk space.
How can i compress (or zip or gzip, whatever gives better results) while export is still running, so file1 is compressed before or while export writes to file2 ?
Maybe this could be done by a 'pipe' ? But i've never used a pipe in unix!

Many thanks
Andreas
