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

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

// Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
Dim success As Boolean
success = zip.NewZip("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.)
Dim saveExtraPath As Boolean
saveExtraPath = False
success = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir("/temp/a/hamlet.xml",saveExtraPath)
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The zip object references a single file.
// Retrieve the entry object...
Dim entry As Chilkat.ZipEntry
entry = zip.GetEntryByIndex(0)

// Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
entry.FileName = "somethingElse.xml"

// Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
// the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
// FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

// The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
Else
    System.DebugLog("Zip created!")
