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

Chilkat.Gzip gzip = new Chilkat.Gzip();

// Ungzip and untar.
bool bNoAbsolute = true;
string untarToDirectory;
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"
bool success = gzip.UnTarGz("test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(gzip.LastErrorText);
