Updates to reflect the latest version of WPS 4.1
Clean up platform lists, based on the current "Deployment" page. Put individual Linux platforms in a parenthesized list after "Linux" ("Linux" doesn't refer to any particular platform, not even x86, so don't use it to mean "Linux on x86"). Solaris isn't listed any more.

Line 23:
WPS can use programs written in the [[SAS language|language of SAS]] without the need for translating them into any other language. In this regard WPS is compatible with the SAS system. WPS has a built-in language interpreter able to process the language of SAS and produce similar results.<ref name="Your Apps – Language Support">{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldprogramming.com/products/wps/your-apps/language-support|title=Your Apps – Language Support|accessdate=3 February 2012|publisher=World Programming}}</ref>
 
WPS is available to run on [[z/OS|Mainframe z/OS]], [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]], [[macOS]], [[Linux]], Linux for Arm8 64-bit ([[AArch64x86]]), [[PowerLinuxAArch64|Armv8 64-bit]], POWER/System[[PowerLinux|IBM p/pSeriesPower (LE)]], [[Linux on IBM AIXZ|AIXIBM Z]]), and [[LinuxIBM on zSeriesAIX|Linux on Mainframe System zAIX]].<ref name="Platforms – Summary">{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldprogramming.com/productsinformation/wps/platformsdeployment|title=Platforms – SummaryDeployment|accessdate=313 FebruaryNovember 20122019|publisher=World Programming}}</ref>
