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

' Let's Encrypt provides four .pem files
' 1. fullchain.pem
' 2. privkey.pem
' 3. cert.pem
' 4. chain.pem

' The cert.pem and chain.pem are redundant. 
' The fullchain.pem is composed of the cert.pem and chain.pem.

' To convert the PEM's to a single .pfx, we don't need the redundant data.
' The privkey.pem and fullchain.pem provide the required data.
' We can ignore cert.pem and chain.pem (because those certs are already found in fullchain.pem).

' We need a single .pem file that contains both the private key, the cert,
' and the certs in the chain of authentication.
' Let's combine priveky.pem and fullchain.pem into a single .pem
