That's right.  SDRES has been the resident part of the quite 
nice (though horribly localized and badly documented) Search & Destroy 
virus scanning software from Fifth Generation, which was bundled with 
Novell DOS 7.  According to Fran Berry, Fifth Generation is now owned 
by the Symantec group, and that might be the cause, why it wasn't 
included in OpenDOS.  (So the SETUP program is in error concerning 
this, but you can change this by editing the SETUP.INI file, or just 
take the line out of your AUTOEXEC.BAT).
