Also,
I don't think -biprobit- collapses the nonzero values in the same way
as probit.
Compare:
sysuse auto, clear
g y=rep78-1
g y2=y>0 if y<.
probit y mpg weight, nolog
probit y2 mpg weight, nolog
biprobit (foreign=mpg y) (y=headroom foreign), nolog
biprobit (foreign=mpg y2) (y2=headroom foreign), nolog
