Dear Richard,

I have been using -collin- but all of the measures there are similar
to the VIF: R^2 and tolerance (which is just 1-R^2). It's the validity
of R^2 for binary variables that worries me.

There are a few other measures in there, e.g. eigenvalues and the condition index. I'm not aware of any special reasons for concern when using binary variables.
