* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Zip')
loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

lcZipPath = "c:/temp/test.zip"

* Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
loZip.NewZip(lcZipPath)

* Append a file that will contain the string "Hello World";
lcFileContent = "Hello World"
lcPathInZip = "txtFiles/helloWorld.txt"
loEntry = loZip.AppendString(lcPathInZip,lcFileContent)
