By replacing the construct of directed sets and cofinal maps by an arbitrary construct one naturally generalizes classical nets. These generalized nets make possible to express convergence on objects of a construct, as introduced by the author [``Convergence structures for categories'', Appl. Categ. Struct. 9, No.~6, 557--570 (2001; Zbl 1006.18005)], and consequently, to speak on convergence separation and convergence compactness in a category. In the paper under review, the author continues his study of convergence compactness in a category and, in particular, convergence compactifications. Its results generalize results of previous papers about compactness and compactification of set-theoretic convergence spaces and show that separation and compactness with respect to a convergence structure on a construct satisfy basic properties similar to the ones of the classical separation and compactness of topological spaces. Further, the paper provides some properties of convergence compactness and one-point compactifications which do not hold for classical compactness of topological spaces. The author claims that these properties make constructs with a convergence structure more convenient for various applications than the classical construct of topological spaces.
