    // 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.
    //

    // Case 1: Unzip to a file by setting the sink of streamA to a file.
    CkStream streamA = new CkStream();
    streamA.put_SinkFile("qa_output/hamletA.xml");

    success = entry.UnzipToStream(streamA);
    if (success != true) {
        System.out.println(entry.lastErrorText());

        return;
        }

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

    // ----------------------------------------------------------------
    // Case 2a: Uzip to a stream asynchronously. 
    CkStream streamB = new CkStream();

    CkTask unzipTask = entry.UnzipToStreamAsync(streamB);
    if (entry.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
        System.out.println(entry.lastErrorText());

        return;
        }

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

    // Read the stream.  (this is reading the unzipped file data)
    CkStringBuilder sb = new CkStringBuilder();

        // Each call to ReadSb appends to the contents of sb.

        }

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