Thanks to Kit Baum an update of the -fmlogit- package is now 
available on SSC. To intall this update type in Stata
-ssc install fmlogit, replace- or -adoupdate, update-. This
update fixes a bug in the way pweights were handeled, which 
was kindly pointed out to me by Jorge González Chapela.

-fmlogit- fits by quasi maximum likelihood a fractional multinomial
logit model. It models a set of dependent variables that each
must range between 0 and 1 and must always, for each observation,
add up to 1: for example, they may be proportions. It is a
multivariate generalization of the fractional logit model
proposed by Papke and Wooldridge (1996),
