SAS/Lattice was the best compiler if you don't need an IDE.  I used an ASCII text editor and the command line to develop my programs and it wasn't bad at all.

I was able to cram the compiler and all my tools onto one floppy disk.  Booted Workbench on DF0: and ran the compiler from DF1:

I compiled my programs to RAM: which greatly speeded up the compile and link process.

Sounds to me like neofree is looking for a retro environment to develop his software and wants to target Amigas running WB 1.2 thru 3.1.  He isn't looking for the latest commercial compiler.  Just a good, solid compiler that works from a command prompt and produces small, fast programs.  SAS/Lattice is it unless he wants to try Aztec C.
