Is there a way to provide directories for build.bat, if build.bat is lost?

Build.bat (both boost-jam and boost-build) don't do its work, when 
several Visual C++ versions are installed under Windows 2000 system - 
too many paths are generated in command line output. Is there a 
simple way to provide these directories without examining all the 
code in build.bat. Or, otherwise, how exactly should look 
cl.exe ??? ??? ??? code generated by build.bat and executed - how to 
write this code manually?
I still can't find precompiled executables for Windows 2000 -
