(PowerBuilder) Zip Append Files Verbose Logging

An application can check verbose LastErrorText if the zip.AppendFiles method does not append the expected files, or if it appends nothing.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

li_Success = loo_Zip.AppendFiles("*",li_Recurse)

// Even if AppendFiles is successful, we can examine the LastErrorText property
// to see what happend.  (This is true for all Chilkat methods.  The LastErrorText always
// contains information even when the method call is successful.  If you have a difficult
// time understanding what happened, then turn on VerboseLogging and have a look at it.
// Make sure to turn off VerboseLogging for production because it could slow down your application.)
