Neither the original author nor the reviser of -dtobit- now works for
StataCorp. That's just factual information; it's not for me to say what
it does or does not imply.
What's key, however, is that -dtobit- was never part of official Stata.
It remains a user-written program whose author and then reviser happened
also to work for StataCorp (as it now is).
Thus, contrary to some statements, there is no question of suppressing
or discontinuing it. It will remain archived and accessible and
downloadable in STB/SJ archives indefinitely.

Mykhailo,
I cannot test the capabilities of -dtobit- because that routine
(updated for sg144_1, from SJ 4:3) does not run the example in its
help file:

Apparently some changes made to -tobit- have broken -dtobit-.
However I would wonder whether you can what you need with the various
options available on -mfx-, see -help tobit postestimation-. The
default output provides
. mfx

and other options are available. -mfx- saves everything it produces,
and those matrices can be added to -estimates- and output with -
esttab- or other table-making programs.
Presumably someone from StataCorp will have a look at -dtobit-, as it
was written and modified by StataCorp employees (but is not part of
official Stata).
