Long time ago, I had the same problem, and solved it thusly:

  @titlepage
  @titlefont{GNU Software for MS-Windows,}
  @sp 1
  @title MS-DOS, and Compatible Systems
  @subtitle Edition @value{edition} 
  @author by Daniel Hagerty, Melissa Weisshaus
  @author and Eli Zaretskii

Maybe newer versions of Texinfo have a better solution, I never tried.
