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".

Try Panther's utility first. If necessary, the StuffIt product is 
available but getting it is a wee bit complicated.
