    let bd = CkoBinData()!
    bd.loadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat")

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

    var entryObj: CkoZipEntry? = zip.appendBd(pathInZip, byteData: bd)
    if zip.lastMethodSuccess == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // ...
    // ...

    entryObj = nil

    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // Do the equivalent using AddBd.

    // Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
    var success: Bool = zip.addBd(pathInZip, bd: bd)
    if success == false {
        print("\(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.
    let ze = CkoZipEntry()!
    var index: Int = zip.numEntries.intValue - 1
    zip.entry(at: index, entry: ze)
