(Tcl) Set Entry Filepath (in output Zip) when Zipping

Demonstrates how to set the path for the file entry within the .zip to something different than the path in the filesystem.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

# or (2) the full absolute path, but made relative, if saveExtraPath is 1.
# (For example, "c:/ck2000/appData/UnitTest/qa_data/hamlet.xml" made relative is
