== Operating platforms ==
SPIRES currently runs on [[Unix]], [[Linux]] and [[Darwin (operating system)|Darwin]] platforms. Its primary use today is for the world [[physics]] communities, and "legacy" data at Stanford University. SPIRES runs under emulation of the original ORVYL operating system. The emulators are written primarily in "C" compiled by 32-bit "gcc" or "g++" depending upon architectures (ppc or i386). The SPIRES engine is less than one-megabyte in size, but performs all the searching, maintenance, and formatting of databases. In 2017, the Emulators adapted by Dick Guertin to become 64-bit programs dealing with 32-bit SPIRES.
