CkoZip *zip = [[CkoZip alloc] init];

// Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
BOOL success = [zip NewZip: @"qa_output/test.zip"];

// Set a path prefix:
zip.PathPrefix = @"directory_name/";

// Add references to files:
BOOL recurse = YES;
success = [zip AppendFiles: @"c:/zipTest/directory_name/*" recurse: recurse];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

success = [zip WriteZipAndClose];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

NSLog(@"%@",@"success.");
