They share ISO and a good deal of things coming from the Edinburgh
and Quintus `standards'.  Both have extensions, some of which can
easily be mapped, others are next to impossible. Contact Gertjan van
Noord.  As he is both a SWI-Prolog and SICStus user he might be able
and willing to explain the issues around Hdrug.
