    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

    //  First, Chilkat recommends downloading the MGTEK Smartcard Minidriver Tool to get information 
    //  about your smartcard. 

    //  The tool can be downloaded from https://www.mgtek.com/smartcard

    //  1. Select the smartcard as shown below and send Chilkat a screenshot of the basic smartcard information.
