Other useful information.
Compatikey is a Web application. And that is different from a local application in that there is no software installed on your computer. Compatikey is installed on a web server and you access its functionality through a Web browser which is installed on your computer. Common Web browsers are: Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Suite. At this time Compatikey is only optimized for Internet Explorer.
An important thing to understand about the difference in the experience of using a Web application like Compatikey and a local application, is the length of time it takes to respond to the click of a button. With Compatikey, the click of a button requires a round-trip from your computer to the web server and back again. Depending on where you are that could be halfway around the world! The speed of that round-trip has everything to do with the speed of your Internet connection.
Compatikey has been built on a state-of-the-art Microsoft .NET 2.0 platform, and is very fast. But your results can only be delivered as fast as your Internet connection allows. So, when you have clicked a button in Compatikey it may take a few seconds for the screen to refresh, which tells you that the job is complete. Clicking the button more than once, won't help. Patience is advised! Compatikey is a powerful relationship tool, and worth a few seconds wait.
