This is a good idea but no very "user configuration friendly".

Please understand what Mike Dewar is trying to tell you:

  It is not necessary to detect which version.

All that is necessary is to just start

   AXIOMsys

instead of the whole group of three (or more?) processes
that are usually started in the NAG commercial version.
tm_axiom only interfaces with one of these - the Axiom
interpret itself.
