Unfortunately Uwe did not mention that 7.4.3beta does NOT include
the options mentioned above. The changes wre made with 7.4.3.10 resp. 
7.4.4 (named 7.4develop by him).
7.4.3beta  is 7.4.3.7 --> do not try to find something similar to
Log_Mode DEMO in the current 7.4-version available.

As Daniel wrote November 28th according 7.4:

"

The final release is now scheduled for February 2003.

There will probably be at least one more beta-release.
