Object-code compatible is a computing term meaning that object code can move freely between two different kinds of computers and can be expected to function in the same way.
Usually, compatibility is expressed in terms like backward-compatible, which means that the usually-newer computer has every feature the old one did, plus additional functionality that is not supported on the old machine.
Famous quotes containing the word compatible:
“English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of ontological tricks may be correlated with elements of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
