→History: Use a citation template. Get rid of an unnecessary colon. I'm not sure Darwin's a functional OS by itself, rather than part of the macOS core OS component; just say "macOS" (although it'd have to be a pre-Catalina macOS unless you compile it from source, as the download from the last archived version appears have only 32-bit binaries).
→Operating platforms: Again, macOS, not Darwin.

SPIRES currently runs on [[Unix]], [[Linux]] and [[Darwin (operating system)|DarwinmacOS]] 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. A 270k emulator runs a 973k SPIRES. In 2017, the Emulators were adapted by Dick Guertin to become 64-bit programs dealing with 32-bit SPIRES.
