I just noticed when digging around the egs_chamber code that on line 2610 (link below), the number used to for the eV to J conversion is 1.602E-10, which only has 4 significant figures, even though egs_chamber outputs dose to 5 figures. I don't think it makes any practical difference, but I think subbing in 1.60218e-10 (or maybe even using/setting up a global constant for egspp) would be a good idea.
