Yes, it would be better to make separate 68k and PPC applications. 
Fat is bad when small size is the target.

While I can make a small app with FB^3 there are plenty of features 
that aren't available with the Tech or Ultralite runtimes.

By removing some unneeded resources and using the Rntm FBII.Incl file 
I made a PPC app 192k.  That's pretty big but it does allow all of 
the FB syntax.

I think someone already made a mini-runtime from the FBII runtime ( 
Rntm FBII.Incl).  If not maybe I'll try doing it.  I would start with 
the FBII runtime and remove the stuff that D&D probably wouldn't need.
