Michael,

   Seriously consider learning and using Python. Not only is Python replacing
shell scripts within GRASS, but it has extensive scientific and numeric
support that eliminates re-inventing the wheel.

   It's not a difficult transition from C once you get used to code blocks
being defined by indentation and space rather than semi-colons. :-)
