Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. Chilkat2-Python

bd = chilkat2.BinData()
bd.LoadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat")

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendBd method is deprecated:
# AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendBd(pathInZip,bd)
if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddBd.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddBd(pathInZip,bd)
if (success == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
# The newly appended entry is the last one.
