There is a separate Fieldex version for each language type. Fieldex architecture is composed of Fieldex Manager and Fieldex Client.

Expansion is implemented by increasing the length of the fields.
Windowing is a conversion technique wherein Fieldex introduces a new logic, which determines whether the century value to be used is '19' or '20'. No, Fieldex only modifies the affected program. It creates a report that contains the list of fields, which must be checked by the database administrator for possible adjustment. Fieldex is a tool for conversion of programs to Y2K-compliant format. It does not do downloading tasks.
