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

loGzip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Gzip')

* Ungzip and untar.
lnBNoAbsolute = 1

lcUntarToDirectory = "/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"
