Dave - thanks for your reply.  I'm not  using Scott's add on for the model 
estimation. Interestingly, Stata version 7  provides the pseudo-R^2 value when 
using the constraint, but version 8 does  not.  This makes me think Stata 
intentionally eliminated it from the output  in the latest incarnation. Hopefully 
someone will know the reason why. Maybe it  is not appropriate to report the 
R^2 value under these conditions?

That's almost certainly because Long and  Freeze use their add on program 
that calculates psuedo R squares.  I  can't remember the name of the add on 
program, but it is listed repeatedly  in the Long and Freeze book.
