// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loo_Gzip = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Gzip" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Gzip.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Gzip")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Gzip
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

li_Success = loo_Gzip.UncompressFile("qa_data/gzip/something.csv.gz","qa_output/something.csv")
if li_Success <> 1 then
    Write-Debug loo_Gzip.LastErrorText
