Procedure Test
    Boolean iSuccess
    Handle hoZip

    String sTemp1

    Move False To iSuccess

    Move False To iSuccess

    // Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
    Get ComGetDirectoryAsXML Of hoZip To sXml

    Showln sXml

    // Suppose the ZIP contains:

    // data/config/settings.json
    // docs/readme.txt
    // images/logo.png

    // The XML contains one element for each ZIP entry.
    // Example:
    // 
    // <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    // <zip_contents>
    //     <dir name="data">
    //         <dir name="config">
    //             <file>settings.json</file>
    //         </dir>
    //     </dir>
    //     <dir name="docs">
    //         <file>readme.txt</file>
