Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoGzip

    Move False To iSuccess

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

    Move True To iBNoAbsolute

    Move "/temp/test" To sUntarToDirectory
    // 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"
