I would like to underline Johannes' very proper comment: Apply with
caution. 

As a program author (although not of anything mentioned here) I would
say: You are free to modify my programs but those modified programs are
then yours and I am not then responsible for what they do or do not do. 

Other authors can speak for themselves but I imagine that a similar
attitude is common.

Apply with caution: You can make -postgr3- work with xttobit (I have no 
experience with xtlogit but it might also work) - you have to include a 
line in a subprogram that is called by -postgr3- and allow explicitly
for 
the command -xttobit-  in -_pebase.ado-  and/or -_pebase2.ado- (simply 
copy the line for -tobit- and replace it by xttobit in these ado-files).

However, I guess the authors might have had a reason not to include
these 
random effects models in their program.
