Borland’s Turbo C was very good for it’s time (many happy memories of learning C with it years ago) — it’s now freely available and can be downloaded here. I don’t know how it compares to gcc for DOS, but it will come with an IDE if that helps…
Edited to add…
I’ve seen that you’ve updated that you’re using XP, so you might want to look at Microsoft Visual C++ Express instead for something a bit more up to date. I took you literally at your word when you said DOS, and thought you were poking around with MS-DOS 6/5/4/[etc]…
Don’t be put off by the C++ bit; you should still be able to do most basic C stuff with it. Just remember to build stuff as a Console App.
