I wonder how people get these ideas. -intreg- 
is emphatically not ordered probit. 

It is a generalisation of -cnreg- and -tobit- in 
which values of the response can be point 
data, interval data, left-censored or right-censored. 
Error terms are presumed normal (or Gaussian,
as some prefer to say). The calculation is 
standard ML. 

I pretty well copied that out of the manual, but 
then I see that almost all of it is in the help. 

It is really is difficult to do serious work 
with Stata without access to the manuals.
