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

loEntryObj = loZip.AppendBd(lcPathInZip,loBd)
IF (loZip.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* ...
* ...

RELEASE loEntryObj

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Do the equivalent using AddBd.

* Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
lnSuccess = loZip.AddBd(lcPathInZip,loBd)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    RELEASE loBd
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
* The newly appended entry is the last one.
loZe = CreateObject('Chilkat.ZipEntry')
lnIndex = loZip.NumEntries - 1
loZip.EntryAt(lnIndex,loZe)

RELEASE loZip
RELEASE loBd
