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

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

NSString *zipPath = @"c:/temp/myFiles.zip";

// Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
[zip NewZip: zipPath];

// Append references to files to be zipped.

// If the following files existed under c:/temp/files_to_zip

// c:/temp/files_to_zip/aaa/pigs.json

// c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/hamlet.xml
// c:/temp/files_to_zip/hello.pdf

// then the zip we created would contain:

// aaa/pigs.json
// bbb/base64Cert.txt
// bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
