compatibility

 
   
(of two devices or programs) the ability to function together


COMMENT: By conforming to the standards of another manufacturer or organisation, compatibility of hardware and software allows programs and devices to be interchanged without modification; text, for example, can be written on one machine using a word-processing package and edited on another machine using a page make-up package.
