We have developed a utility that reads the Unify transactie log file
and converts it into ASCII. As it also translates the 'field numbers'
into field names, so it is not effected by database configurations.

It produces records like:

     DATA

DATA is either the data in ascii format, or the keyword DELETED

It is doable this way, and you dont have to include code in your
ACCELL scripts. And you also log 'add hoc' updates done with SQL, and
even catch C programs using Host Language Interface.

The only problem is that it is a commercial product and I cannot post it.
A source licence is not that expensive though, please mail me for more info.
