    bool success = false;

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

    CkZip zip;

    const char *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..
    const char *pathInZip = "abc/helloWorld.txt";
