I have a -btscs- program in my files from 1998.
It was written by Richard Tucker, who last I heard
was at Vanderbilt. He doesn't seem to be there any
more. More important, it really does not do what you
want here, as there is no modelling in it and it bears
no relation to -xtprobit-.
So, either you are after something different with
the same name, or somebody is confused. That's ny guess.
