A couple of months ago I posted a fractional multinomial 
logit -fmlogit- on the statalist 
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-05/msg00449.html

-fmlogit- relates to -dirifit- like fractional logit relates 
to beta regression. 

Can you tell us a bit more about your problem? What are
the dependent and independent variables? Do you have many 
observations with a proportion equal to 0 or 1. Papke and 
Wooldridge are overly optimistic about the ability of
dealing with those problems using the fractional 
(binomial or multinomial) logit model.

Hope this helps,
Maarten
