  • B-Prolog portability: The wall_time/1 predicate is not supported.

  • CxProlog portability: The date_time/7 predicate returns zeros for all arguments.

  • JIProlog portability: The file_permission/2 and command_line_arguments/1 predicates are not supported.

  • Quintus Prolog: The pid/1 and shell/2 predicates are not supported.

  • XSB portability: The command_line_arguments/1 predicate is not supported.
