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

    zip := chilkat.NewZip()
    var success bool

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

    // Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
    zip.NewZip(zipPath)

    // Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
    // This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
    // that will get processed when the zip is written.
    entry1 := zip.AppendNew("empty.txt")
    entry1.DisposeZipEntry()

    // Append another entry..
    entry2 := zip.AppendNew("abc/helloWorld.txt")

    // Add some data to this entry..
    entry2.AppendString("Hello World","utf-8")
    entry2.DisposeZipEntry()

    // Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
    zip.SetFileName(zipPath)
