I think you're on the wrong track here.  You should probably be thinking along the lines of Stata's built-in -treatreg-, the add-ins -cdsimeq- or -cmp-, or alternative procedures such as the one that Jeff Wooldridge describes in his 2002 book.

Have a look at some past discussions on the list and the threads and references therein:

HTH.

Cheers,
Mark
