Overview of the most significant new features in STEM 7.4
The new features of STEM 7.4 are described in detail in the brand new HTML help resource
which replaces the former user-guide and separate context-sensitive help.
This is available online (via the panel accompanying this article) so you can
read all about the new features even before you have installed the new software.
STEM 7.4 is fully compatible with models created in version 7.3, but models
saved with STEM 7.4 cannot be read by STEM 7.3 or earlier versions.
