"     Second, Janus/Ada 83 for DOS has a compiler/linker switch to tell the
system that the whole program will fit into a .COM file, so it can
generate shorter jumps."

That's surely confused. Any compiler will generate short jumps when it
can (since it knows at compile time, jumps do not go from one unit to
another!)

Perhaps you mean that specifying small model allowed shorter calls? if so
that is clearly true, but not something that is relevant any more these
days.
