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

zip = chilkat2.Zip()

zipPath = "c:/temp/qa_output/test.zip"

# Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath)

# Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
# This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
# that will get processed when the zip is written.
zip.AddEmpty(False,"empty.txt")

# Append another entry..
pathInZip = "abc/helloWorld.txt"
zip.AddEmpty(False,pathInZip)

# Add some data to this entry..
entry = chilkat2.ZipEntry()

# Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
