Dear Richard,
Thank you for your help. I have decided to compute the simple marginal
effects using the mfx command. I think that that will work for this
project.

That is too bad! Yes, a program has to be officially "blessed" before
-spost- will work with it. (I have that same problem with my -gologit2-
program, which is why I include an option to make stored results
compatible with -gologit-, which is supported by -spost-). -tobit-
probably could be supported, but obviously it is not a priority, at
least at this point.
Two other things you might try:
1. Use Stata's own -adjust- command.
2. I think the way many -spost- routines work is they generate fake
cases with the desired values, and then use the -predict- command to
come up with the predicted values for those cases.
I demonstrate these approaches on pp. 6-9 of
http://www.nd.edu/~rwilliam/stats2/Logistic-Stata.pdf
When it works, -prchange- is nice because it will compute various values
for you (e.g. the highest value of x, the lowest value), but you can
compute those things yourselves and then plug them in where appropriate.
