If you are talking about this program,

http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPAH/Resources/Publications/459843-1195594469249/dominance.ado

the help file is basically included in the comments in the 
program.  They may not answer your questions, but perhaps the works 
cited would.

Personally, whenever I review a paper where the author has written 
their own Stata routine, I encourage them to tidy it up and submit to 
SSC.  I think your work will have a lot more impact if you make it 
easy for others to do the same things you are.  Alas, this advice is 
not always taken.  I think not wanting to write a help file, or not 
wanting to provide support, may be the biggest factors.
