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

set tar = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Tar")

tar.VerboseLogging = 1

' The TAR component will produce a  GNU tar 1.13.x format
' archive by default.
' It is also possible to create PAX -- POSIX 1003.1-2001 format
' or USTAR -- POSIX 1003.1-1988 format.
' Set the WriteFormat property to "gnu", "pax", or "ustar" to
' choose the output TAR format:
tar.WriteFormat = "gnu"

' Add a directory tree to be included in the output TAR archive:
success = tar.AddDirRoot("/Users/chilkat/temp/abc123")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( tar.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
End If

' Create the TAR archive.
' Note: You may use UNC paths, absolute, or relative paths.
success = tar.WriteTar("/Users/chilkat/testData/tar/abc123.tar")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( tar.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
    Response.End
