    You can use EVENTBIN, but take into account the following:
    1) The energy of the neutrons escaping from the calorimeter is
        not known exactly, but is known only with a resolution equal to
        the width of the energy groups
    2) EVENTBIN, like USRBIN, does not score the number of neutrons
        per event, but the neutron tracklength in a specified bin (or
        in a specified region, if you chose region binning)

    Remark number 1) is valid in any case, independent of the command
    you use. The neutron energy is not known better than the group width
    even inside the program itself.

    You can avoid the problem described in remark number 2)
    by using instead USERDUMP and writing a user routine mgdraw.f.
    In this case you can get the actual number of escaping neutrons,
    doing some programming after ENTRY BXDRAW (boundary crossing)
    and after ENTRY EEDRAW (end of event).
