Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. VBScript

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

' Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
