void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    HCkZip zip;
    BOOL success;
    BOOL recurse;

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

    zip = CkZip_Create();

    // Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
    success = CkZip_NewZip(zip,"myZip.zip");

    // Add references to files:
    recurse = TRUE;
    success = CkZip_AppendFiles(zip,"c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*",recurse);

    // Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
    // the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

    // The component has no
    // choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
    // It's not possible for the component to know if you
    // wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
    // paths prefixed for each file added.

    // To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
    // directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
    // For example:
    CkZip_putAppendFromDir(zip,"c:\\temp\\a");

    success = CkZip_AppendFiles(zip,"subdir1\\*",recurse);

    // This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
    // "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

    // If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
    // do this:
    CkZip_putAppendFromDir(zip,"c:\\temp");
    success = CkZip_AppendFiles(zip,"a\\subdir1\\*",recurse);

    success = CkZip_WriteZipAndClose(zip);


    CkZip_Dispose(zip);
