Procedure ChilkatExample()

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

    ; To create an ECDSA signature, the data first needs to be hashed.  Then the hash
    ; is signed.

    ; Use Chilkat Crypt2 to generate a hash for any of the following
    ; hash algorithms: SHA256, SHA384, SHA512, SHA1, MD5, MD2, HAVAL, RIPEMD128/160/256/320

    crypt.i = CkCrypt2::ckCreate()
    If crypt.i = 0
