* First prepare a .zip and write it..
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Zip')
loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

loZip.NewZip("qa_output/abc.zip")

* Add some files..
loEntry = loZip.AppendString("a.txt","aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa")
RELEASE loEntry
loEntry = loZip.AppendString("b.txt","bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb")
RELEASE loEntry
loEntry = loZip.AppendString("c.txt","cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc")
RELEASE loEntry

* Write to qa_output/abc.zip
* This .zip contains three files: a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt
lnSuccess = loZip.WriteZipAndClose()

* -------------------------------------------------------------------
* Open abc.zip, remove an entry, and re-write.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Zip')
loZip2 = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')
loZip2.OpenZip("qa_output/abc.zip")

loEntry = loZip2.GetEntryByName("b.txt")
loZip2.DeleteEntry(loEntry)
RELEASE loEntry
* Write the modified .zip back to "abc.zip"
