Demonstrates how to create a zip where the filename within the .zip is different than the filename that was added from the filesystem. Lianja

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

loZip = createobject("CkZip")

//  Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
llSuccess = loZip.NewZip("myZip.zip")

//  Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
//  (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
//  read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
//  When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in
//  and compressed to the .zip.)

//  The zip object references a single file.
//  Retrieve the entry object...
loEntry = createobject("CkZipEntry")

//  Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
loEntry.FileName = "somethingElse.xml"

//  Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
//  the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
//  FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

//  The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
