If you have no additional control variables than you have a fully
saturated model and there is no problem with using the code for
continuous data with the addition of the -vce(robust)- option. See:
<http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2012-02/msg00351.html>
If you have additional control variables you need to be a bit more
careful and do some more checking to see if the model is reasonable,
but in many cases I would suspect that the linear probability model
will still be just fine.
Hope this helps,
