As far as I know, FST does include obj's for both memory models in the
distribution. The obj's have the same names, and the compiler is told
which to use with a DOS environment variable. At least that's how it
works for the later revs (2.0 and up). One does that by placing the lib
objects in seperate directories, and then putting something like:
SET M2LIB=C:!\M2LIB;C;!\M2LIBH (or 'L', as the case may be)
in the autoexec.bat file.

...hope this helps...

You can get a recent rev of the compiler from the FST conference on BIX.
I think that uunet and gatekeeper.dec.com also have it available for
FTP access.
