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

* Untar a .tar archive.
loTar = CreateObject('Chilkat.Tar')

* Untar into c:/temp/untarDir.  The directory tree(s) contained
* within the TAR archive will be re-created rooted at this
* directory.
loTar.UntarFromDir = "/Users/chilkat/temp/untarDir"

* If any filepaths within the Tar archive are absolute,
* automatically make them relative by removing the first
* forward or backward slash.  This protects from untarring
* files to unexpected locations.
