The ST disk image database is maintained by the ST TOSEC (www.tosec.org)
database maintainer Keili. It contains the contents of all the common (and loads of uncommon) disk images
that you can download.
Extract the file to the directory that contains Steem. Now you can right-click on a disk image in
Steem's disk manager to find the contents of it automatically. You can also search for a program
in the database by clicking on the disk image management tools button
().
Using the database with Steem
Here's how the database works when you've set it up.
Say you've just downloaded the mysterious file A_007.ST.
Right-click on the file and choose "Get Contents".
A box pops up telling you that the disk is "Automation 7" and which games are on it.
You can make multiple links to these games, so that you can find them easily
from Steem's disk manager. Just choose a folder in the dialog box and select
"Create".
There are now multiple links to the disk, named after the games on it.
You can also use the database to find out which compilation disks contain
a particular game. Just press F9 in the disk manager.
Typing "Bomb" into the box reveals that Bomb Jack is on Automation 16.
To find places on the internet where you might be able to download the disks
you find using this feature, have a look at Steem's links
page.
Thanks
Many thanks to Keili for all his time and effort creating and maintaining the database.

In the gamelist are still many images with unknown content. If you know
the content of one (some, many) disk-series in the list, please
mail it to the Steem authors.
The contents will be added ASAP to the list.
If you have images that are not in the list, please
contact the Steem Authors.
They'll be able to tell you where to send the images so we
