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).
