Narrative:
On landing rollout at approximately 100 KTS nose gear started to shimmy violently. I took control of aircraft (first officer's landing) and proceeded to stop the aircraft and while slowing down found out we didn't have any nosewheel steering. Stopped aircraft on runway and shut down engines. Towed off runway to ramp.
