				Details for how to setup the 
GNU COBOL are found here: 
viewtopic.php?t=7174
Details fro setting up the  
Acucorp COBOL are found here: 
viewtopic.php?t=6630
For another version of COBOL, it should be possible to configure Zeus in a similar fashion using the steps similar to those described in the links above.

				I am able to compile my program but not create an executable. I am using the following command cobc.exe -C -g -v -x {program name}. It is creating .I file and and converting it to C but not creating an .exe file.
I believe there is an issue with the path, because when I run C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat I get the following message:
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools.
ERROR: Cannot determine the location of the VS Common Tools folder.
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks,
Krikor

				Zeus comes with a 
ze.cmd batch file that will try to automatically find the correct 
vsvars32.bat file.
Try using this batch file as described here:
