-jonter- is a user-written ado (by Joseph Coveney and, I note, edited  
by Nick Cox)
-nptrend- is official Stata
-binreg- should be much better known. It is a -glm- wrapper command  
that allows you to calculate relative risks in a multivariate model  
(in lieu of the odds ratios of -logistic-). The drawback is that it  
may not converge, while -logistic- is almost guaranteed to.
