* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Zip')

lcTextData = "This is a test"
lcCharset = "utf-8"

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The AppendString method is deprecated:

loEntryObj = loZip.AppendString2(lcPathInZip,lcTextData,lcCharset)
IF (loZip.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* ...
* ...

RELEASE loEntryObj

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Do the equivalent using AddString.

* Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
lnSuccess = loZip.AddString(lcPathInZip,lcTextData,lcCharset)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    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.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.ZipEntry')
loZe = CreateObject('Chilkat.ZipEntry')
lnIndex = loZip.NumEntries - 1
loZip.EntryAt(lnIndex,loZe)
