There was one available comercially, and it did a pretty good job.
Generally, you could take a functional ST BASIC program, run the
compiler on it, and have an identically executing (but much faster)
stand alone program. It also provided a testable variable which had
different values under the interpreter and the compiler for resolving the
few idiosyncracies that popped up. It was from Logical Design Works,
and called, reasonably, The ST BASIC Compiler. I don't know the 
current status of it here in the USA, let alone down under.
