#include <CkZip.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)

    //  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/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 file that will contain the string "Hello World";
    const char *fileContent = "Hello World";
    const char *pathInZip = "txtFiles/helloWorld.txt";
    zip.AddString(pathInZip,fileContent,"utf-8");

    zip.put_FileName(zipPath);
    success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
