    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)

    // AppendNewDir is used when you wish to add a directory to the zip
    // such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
    // even if it contains no files.

    entry := zip.AppendNewDir("dirA")
    entry.DisposeZipEntry()
    entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirB")
    entry.DisposeZipEntry()
    entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirC")
    entry.DisposeZipEntry()

    // Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
    zip.SetFileName(zipPath)
    success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
