    //  Create a string array object with our set of filename patterns
    //  to be excluded:
    sa = CkStringArray_Create();
    CkStringArray_Append(sa,"*.bak");
    CkStringArray_Append(sa,"*.tmp");

    //  Tell the zip object to use these exclusions:
    CkZip_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.

    recurse = TRUE;
    CkZip_AppendFiles(zip,"c:/temp/a/*",recurse);

    success = CkZip_WriteZipAndClose(zip);
    if (success != TRUE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkZip_lastErrorText(zip));
        return;
    }

    printf("Zip Created!\n");

    CkZip_Dispose(zip);
    CkStringArray_Dispose(sa);
