I need a compiler for COBOL that will run under Vista that does not need the .net framework nor Visual Studio 2008. For right now I am only learning the very basic features of COBOL and do not want to be confused by fancier IDEs. What do you suggest?

There are compilers listed which run on XP. However, COBOL being a very old language, I doubt you'll find any that run on Vista unless you can set them to run in Compatibility Mode.
