"Object-code compatible" is a property that different types of computers may have. It means 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.
