The Novell library you need is called NetWare C Interface for DOS (CID).
It works with Turbo C.  Unfortunately the area of Directory Services
has bugs.  The book, "NetWare Programmer's Guide" by Ralph Davis
gives a fix for one of the more serious bugs in this area.

CID has many functions calls including GetDriveInformation(),
GetSearchDriveVector(), and IsSearchDrive().  But you may have to
debug some of Novell's code.
