Transition from Zip.AppendString to Zip.AddString

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendString method calls with AddString. C++

#include <CkZipEntry.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    CkZip zip;

    //  ...
    //  ...
    const char *pathInZip = "example.txt";
    const char *textData = "This is a test";

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The AppendString method is deprecated:

    CkZipEntry *entryObj = zip.AppendString(pathInZip,textData);
    if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  ...
    //  ...

    delete entryObj;

    //  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Do the equivalent using AddString.

    //  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
    success = zip.AddString(pathInZip,textData,"utf-8");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
    //  The newly appended entry is the last one.
    CkZipEntry ze;
    int index = zip.get_NumEntries() - 1;
    zip.EntryAt(index,ze);
