Out of curiosity, I took a look to the Grips source code and used Logtalk ability to compile Prolog module code to learn about possible portability issues. The code uses some SWI-Prolog features, which makes porting difficult. It uses a back quote as an operator, which is problematic. As an example, the code only compiles with SWI-Prolog V7 using the --traditional command-line flag. It declares operators in the pseudo-module "user" that SWI-Prolog makes available through a kind of inheritance mechanism to the module that contains the op/3 directives. A bigger issue is the use of module_transparent/1 directives, which cannot be simply replaced by more meta_predicate/1 directives. Thus, porting is not trivial.
