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

    // entryObj: ZipEntry
    var entryObj = zip.AppendBd(pathInZip,bd);
    if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
        console.log(zip.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // ...
    // ...

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // 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) {
        console.log(zip.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
    // The newly appended entry is the last one.
    var ze = new chilkat.ZipEntry();
    var index = zip.NumEntries - 1;
    zip.EntryAt(index,ze);
