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

lcOutDir = "c:/temp/testUnzipDir"

* Make sure our output directory exists.

* In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

* a1.xml
* b1.xml
* c1.xml
* dir1/a2.xml
* dir1/c2.xml
* dir2/dir3/c3.xml

    ? loZip.LastErrorText

    RELEASE loZip

* Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir

? "Num unzipped = " + STR(lnNumUnzipped)

* After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
