    recurse := true
    success = zip.AppendFiles("c:/zipTest/directory_name/*",recurse)
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
    }

    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
