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

    let zip = CkoZip()!

    // Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
    var success: Bool = zip.newZip("myZip.zip")

    // Add references to files:
    var recurse: Bool = true
    success = zip.appendFiles("c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*", recurse: recurse)

    // Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
    // the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

    // The component has no
    // choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
    // It's not possible for the component to know if you
    // wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
    // paths prefixed for each file added.

    // To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
    // directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
    // For example:
    zip.appendFromDir = "c:\\temp\\a"

    success = zip.appendFiles("subdir1\\*", recurse: recurse)

    // This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
    // "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

    // If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
    // do this:
    zip.appendFromDir = "c:\\temp"
    success = zip.appendFiles("a\\subdir1\\*", recurse: recurse)

    success = zip.writeAndClose()
