Syntax for revZipAddUncompressedItemWithFile?

[Charles E Buchwald]

Darn, just answered my own question.

The proper syntax for revZipAddUncompressedItemWithFile does not include quotes around the variable name, like revZipAddItemWithData. So in my example below, it would be:
	       revZipAddUncompressedItemWithFile tPath, tFileName, tFilePath
(as you might expect).
In my actual application I mistakenly left out the line:
       revZipCloseArchive tPath
Since I was not closing the archive, and the changes don't take effect until it's closed, I wasn't seeing the changes in the archive, and assumed I had the syntax for revZipAddUncompressedItemWithFile incorrect.

All fine now!

Nothing to see here... move along, move along...

Cheers,
- Charles
