There is a compression utility built-in in Panther.
"Zip Compression in the Finder -- A quiet addition to Panther is the
capability to create .zip archives in the Finder. The Windows world
has pretty much standardized on the .zip format, so this becomes an
easy way to transfer files across platforms. [..] Select one or more
files in the Finder and choose "Create Archive of [filename]" from
the File menu or from the contextual menu (Control-click to bring
this up)."
For more info, look in Finder Help, search on "compression" or "archive".
