loEntry.FileName = "hw.pl"

* Now unzip to the "test" subdirectory, under our current
* working directory:

IF (lnNumFilesUnzipped < 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    RELEASE loEntry
    CANCEL

* The filenames within the .zip are unchanged, but it unzipped
* test/hw.pl and test/hamlet2.xm
