I’m writing a paper that includes a discussion of GRASS scripting that we’re using to develop a suite of landscape evolution models. For that vast audience who are MS Windows users, I was going to say that BASH shell scripting is similar in a number of ways to using *.bat scripting in Windows. This got me to wondering if it is possible to create a GRASS script using a *.bat file for wingrass? I was also going to mention the option of using a high-level scripting language like Python, and again wonder if it is theoretically possible to also use Visual Basic to script in GRASS.
Could *.bat files and VB be used with GRASS or are there technical obstacles to doing so?
