SYSOBJ $F.DISTRIBUTOR ??????? (AREV Specific)

I am trying to rebuild an indexed field programmatically and have run into a cryptic error ! I'm using a subroutine from the AREV knowledge base "Rebuilding Indexes from R/BASIC (TB#73)". I've got the subroutine implemented but when I try to run it, I get an error stating that line 3 of F.DISTRIBUTOR has an undefined variable. Does anyone know what F.DISTRIBUTOR does and why it's being accessed from the rebuild index sub ?
Note: The rebuild index sub calls the INDEX.FLUSH subroutine. Does this then call F.DISTRIBUTOR ?
TIA,
André

There's probably a typo or missed line somewhere. The error would be in a file or field name, most likely.

F.DISTRIBUTOR is a component of the indexing system of ARev (SI.MFS etc).
I have a utility INDEX_REBUILDER that was based in part of the TB and other sources. It used to be in the library on CompuServe but alas, the Revelation forum on CIS is gone.
The utility runs interactively (collector window showing all files with indexes) or via command line (e.g. index_rebuilder fname indexfield(s)).
It runs with version 1.16, 2.0x, 3.0x, and 3.1x. When run on 3.x it uses the fast index rebuilds of version 3+.
I can e-mail you a zipped copy with source code include if you wish. Just leave an e-mail address.
