Demonstrates how to extract the contents of a GZip compressed Tar archive (.tgz or .tar.gz). Unicode C++

#include <CkGzipW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    CkGzipW gzip;

    // Ungzip and untar.
    bool bNoAbsolute = true;
    const wchar_t *untarToDirectory = 0;
    untarToDirectory = L"/temp/test";
    // bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
    // found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
    // contains a file with an absolute path such as
    // "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
    // be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe"
    success = gzip.UnTarGz(L"test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute);
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",gzip.lastErrorText());
