Hi,
CYGWIN is a tool which will allow run Grads in an automated switch under
Windows. On the other hand, the user will have to learn the bash script
language to achieve this goal. CYGWIN is a Windows ports of many of the
popular GNU software tools, including the BASH and tcsh shells. It is better
than run .bat scripts under DOS/Windows.

The best choice is run Grads+Linux/Unix+Scripts for this kind of task.
