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

Dim gzip As New Chilkat.Gzip

// Ungzip and untar.
Dim bNoAbsolute As Boolean
bNoAbsolute = True
Dim untarToDirectory As String
untarToDirectory = "/temp/test"
// bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
// found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
// contains a file with an absolute path such as
// "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
// be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe"
Dim success As Boolean
success = gzip.UnTarGz("test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(gzip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If
