peer agreement (net): +3upward compatible Explanation: I think the author was probably thinking of the term "upward compatible", which overlaps with forward compatible (will be compatible with future versions) but emphasizes the fact that it's compatible with more sophisticated systems. Here's the definition on webospedia.com: Refers to software that runs not only on the computer for which it was designed, but also on newer and more powerful models. For example, a program designed to run on an Intel 386 microprocessor, which also runs on a Pentium, is upward compatible. Upward compatibility is important because it means you can move to a newer, larger, and more sophisticated computer without converting your data. In contrast to upward compatibility, downward (backward) compatible means that a program runs not only on the computer for which it was designed, but also on smaller and older models. For example, a program designed to run under MS-DOS 6.0, which also works under MS-DOS 5.0, is downward compatible. Upward compatibility is sometimes called forward compatibility -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-12-25 15:35:14 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Right, \"compatibility\" |
