Now that you have created your conent, you are ready to create the EzStor file to store the content.  Open the EzStor program from the Programs menu (Programs/EzTools/EzStor).  Select File/New from the Menu, navigate to your content folder and give your file a name with a .hsp extension.  In this example, the filename is "Sample.hsp", as shown below.

Next add your content files.  This means all of your ASP/HTML/graphic files. You add them with same hierarchy as they are in your file system. HSP will use the same relative and absolute links seamlessly.  This makes things really easy.  You can use drag/drop from Windows explorer.  Drag the files onto the TreeView (left pane), including any folders.  Drag the whole lot all at once.

When you drop the files, a "Copy Options" dialog box will pop up.  If you have dropped a folder, you would probably want to copy all subfiles and folders.  If you don't care so much about security and size, don't tick compression and encryption.

Alternatively, you can use the context menu (right-click) to add files via a file selector dialog.

OK, now that you have added files to your EzStor file, it may look something like the screenshot below.  Notice that we have created a hierarchy one level deep for the purpose of keeping graphic files in a separate folder. 

The relative links on the ASP pages will work just as they did before they were put into the EzStor file.  For example, suppose cust_table.asp had a reference to edit.gif like this:

When this file is run by HSP, the relative links will work just the same.  This means you can actually store an entire existing ASP website in an EzStor file and it will work without modification*.
