#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

set zip [new_CkZip]

#  Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
set success [CkZip_NewZip $zip "myZip.zip"]

#  Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
#  (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
#  read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
#  When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in
#  and compressed to the .zip.)

#  the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
#  FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.
