Steem v2.2 has arrived

Steem is an Atari STE emulator. It has taken about 2 years to get to its present state where it runs the vast majority of ST software without problems. One of the best features of Steem is that it is very easy to use, almost all its options can be toggled while the emulation is still running to see the effects they have. The usual nightmare of setting up virtual hard drives and finding/switching disk images is a doddle using Steem's disk manager. You can easily set up and use any axis or any button of any joystick supported by Windows to control the ST joysticks or aspects of the emulator itself using Steem's innovative shortcuts feature.
