# The Chilkat PEM class was introduced in v9.5.0.49.  
# It requires the bundle to be unlocked, as shown above.

# Add the private key found in alice.key to this PEM.
#

success = privKey.LoadAnyFormatFile("qa_data/alice.key","")

# Add it to the PEM:
success = pem.AddPrivateKey(privKey)

# Add the certificate found in alice.crt to this PEM.
# 
cert = Chilkat::CkCert.new()

# Write the PEM containing the private key and certificate.
