→History: It didn't run on *arbitrary* mainframes, it ran on S/360 mainframes (don't try this on your 7090, kids!).
→History: It's not an "IBM mainframe emulator", it's an S/360 emulator. Use a citation template, and use the Wayback Machine for a now-dead link.

SPIRES became the primary database management system for Stanford University business and student services in the 1980s and 1990s. It was also adopted by about two dozen other universities, including installations using the [[Michigan Terminal System]] (MTS), and [[VM/CMS]]. These universities collaborated through annual meetings of the SPIRES Consortium.
 
In 2004, SPIRES was migrated off the mainframe onto Unix platforms by means of an IBM-mainframeSystem/360 Emulatoremulator developed by Dick Guertin. The DBMS now runs on [[Unix]], [[Linux]] or [[Darwin (operating system)]] and is available under [[Mozilla Public License]].<ref>See:{{cite [web |url=https://web.stanford.edu/group/spires/uspires/ |title=Stanford Unix-SPIRES] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701182838/https://web.stanford.edu/group/spires/uspires/ |archive-date=2015-07-01 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
