    // to the files so that when WriteBd, WriteZip, or WriteZipAndClose 
    // is called, the referenced files are streamed and compressed
    // into the .zip output file (or BinData object).

    // get the zip bytes in base64 format.
    const wchar_t *zipAsBase64 = bdZip.getEncoded(L"base64");
    wprintf(L"%s\n",zipAsBase64);

    // Or the zip can be used by some other Chilkat method call that accepts
    // a BinData object as an argument.
