So use FutureBASIC. It makes nice, tiny executables. Like I say, I even wrote an extension with FB2 once. And it's freeware!
FB2 looks quite capable, but I haven't managed to get it to run properly on miniVMac yet.

If we're talking freely available 68K development, I'd either go for ThinkPascal 4.5; which *is* quite capable of decent development; being a fairly well-known language; modest memory requirements and a simple object-oriented model. Or I'd go for the MacMeth Modula-2 compiler; which although it has a pretty poor user-interface and poor code-generation and is a fairly obtuse language, yet fits quite nicely in a 4Mb Plus-type environment.

For more advanced 68K development I have a genuine ThinkC 5.0.4 installation on my LC II - why oh why isn't it freely available?
