    bool success = false;

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

    CkZipW zip;

    // First open a .zip.
    success = zip.OpenZip(L"qa_data/hamlet.zip");

    // There are three ways we can unzip (inflate) to a stream.
    // 
    // 1) Set a sink file on the stream object and call UnzipToStream synchronously.
    //    This unzips to the stream's sink (which is to simply unzip to a file in the filesystem).
    // 
    // 2) Create a stream object and call UnzipToStreamAsync.  This starts the unzip in a background
    //    thread (after Task.Run is called).  Your application can then read the unzipped (inflated) file
    //    directly from the stream.
    // 
    // 3) (not shown in this example) Unzip to a stream object that is the source of something else.
    //

        return;

    // Close the stream to close the output file.
    success = streamA.WriteClose();

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
    // Case 2a: Uzip to a stream asynchronously. 
    CkStreamW streamB;

    CkTaskW *unzipTask = entry.UnzipToStreamAsync(streamB);
    if (entry.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",entry.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Start the background unzip thread.
    unzipTask->Run();

    // Read the stream.  (this is reading the unzipped file data)
    CkStringBuilderW sb;

        // Each call to ReadSb appends to the contents of sb.
        streamB.ReadSb(sb);
    }

    sb.WriteFile(L"qa_output/hamletB.xml",L"utf-8",false);
