#  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.

#  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
#  "c:/Windows/system32/something.exe" it will
#  be extracted to "c:/temp/test/Windows/system32/something.exe"
