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

    var outDir = "c:/temp/testUnzipDir";

    // Make sure our output directory exists.
    var fac = new chilkat.FileAccess();
    success = fac.DirEnsureExists(outDir);
    if (success == false) {

    var zip = new chilkat.Zip();

    // In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

    // a1.xml
    // b1.xml
    // c1.xml
    // dir1/a2.xml

    console.log("Num unzipped = " + numUnzipped);

    // After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

    // c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
