I'd suggest

Title:     Undocumented DOS, 2nd edition
Authors:   Schulman, Brown, Maxey, Michels, Kyle
Publisher: Addison-Wesley
ISBN:      0-201-63287-X

or (even better)

Title:     DOS Internals
Author:    Geoff Chappell
Publisher: Addison-Wesley
ISBN:      0-201-60835-9

The Schulman book is more glitzy and covers more ground.  The
Chappell book is probably more genuinely useful, and is really a
wonderful piece of work (despite the subject matter :).  It also
happens to concentrate on using Microsoft C: see especially
Chapter 6 ``Resident Programming in C''.
