I had long ago changed it in my script to:

  CMD=" $(whence od) -t u1 -A d -N 140 "

If you have filePro 5.0.06 or later (including 5.6.x), look in
$PFPROG/fp/util/bin.  There you'll find docindex and bldindex
scripts that Jerry Raines reworked to run on Linux.  Read his
comments at the top of each of them.
