    // Tell the zip object to use these exclusions:
    CkZipW_SetExclusions(zip,sa);

    // Append a directory tree.  The AppendFiles does
    // not read the file contents or append them to the zip
    // object in memory.  It simply appends references
    // to the files so that when WriteZip (or WriteZipAndClose,
    // or WriteExe, etc.) is called, the files are compressed
    // and encrypted.

    success = CkZipW_AppendFiles(zip,L"/temp/a/*",recurse);
