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,
