start.bat is the closest on Win32.

Anyway, the short version is, create a folder 'current', copy the var and
extensions folders of your favourite Zope setup into it, then copy any products
you want specific version of into current/Products.

Then change start.bat so it looks a bit like:
"E:\Zope\2.3.1\bin\python.exe" "E:\Zope\2.3.1\z2.py"
INSTANCE_HOME="E:\Zope\current"

...that'll start up a Zope instance on port 8080, using the version of Zope in
E:\Zope\2.3.1 but the data.fs and other bits from E:\Zope\current\var

good luck,

Chris
