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

    zip := chilkat.NewZip()

    success = zip.OpenZip("test.zip")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return

    entry := chilkat.NewZipEntry()

    success = zip.EntryOf("hamlet.xml",entry)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()

    entry.SetFileName("hw.pl")

    //  Now unzip to the "test" subdirectory, under our current
    //  working directory:
    numFilesUnzipped := zip.Unzip("test")
    if numFilesUnzipped < 0 {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        entry.DisposeZipEntry()
