Do you have something fundamentally against the delta method,
or do you think that it is a lot of work to implement. If the
latter is your concern, than you can consider the -predictnl-
command like in the example below:
*------------------------ begin example ----------------------
use http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/c/citybudget.dta, clear
glm safety noleft popdens, link(logit) robust
predictnl pr = invlogit(xb()), ci(lb ub)
sort popdens
twoway rarea lb ub popdens if noleft==0 || ///
rarea lb ub popdens if noleft==1 || ///
line pr popdens if noleft==0 || ///
line pr popdens if noleft==1
*-------------------- end example -----------------------
( For more on how to use examples I sent to statalist see:

Hope this helps,
Maarten
