Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim gzip As ChilkatGzip
gzip.Initialize("gzip")

'  Ungzip and untar.
Dim bNoAbsolute As Boolean = True
Dim untarToDirectory As String
untarToDirectory = "/temp/test"
'  bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
'  found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
'  contains a file with an absolute path such as
'  "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
'  be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe";
success = gzip.UnTarGz("test.tar.gz", untarToDirectory, bNoAbsolute)
If success <> True Then
