zip.AddString("a.txt","aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",charset);
zip.AddString("b.txt","bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb",charset);
zip.AddString("c.txt","cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc",charset);

// Write to qa_output/abc.zip
// This .zip contains three files: a.txt, b.txt, and c.txt
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();

// -------------------------------------------------------------------
// Open abc.zip, remove an entry, and re-write.
var zip2 = new CkZip();
zip2.OpenZip("qa_output/abc.zip");

var entry = new CkZipEntry();
success = zip2.EntryOf("b.txt",entry);
if (success !== false) {
    zip2.DeleteEntry(entry);
}

// Write the modified .zip back to "abc.zip"
success = zip2.WriteZip();

// To write to a different filename, change the FileName..
zip2.FileName = "qa_output/ac.zip";
success = zip2.WriteZipAndClose();
