  I'm wanting to make some binders of different opening lines in a columnar layout like MCO uses. Is there any database program that can produce this type of output, or would I be better off creating it manually in a spreadsheet?
  
  In addition, I'd like to be able to print out annotated games with diagrams.

  Chess Openings Wizard can produce output that is sort of the transpose of the MCO format. This isn't exactly what you want, but it might suffice.

  It comes in a cheaper ("Express") and in a more-expensive ("Professional") version. According to the [Comparison Chart](http://www.bookup.com/catalog/comparison-chart/), the Professional version "prints ECO/BCO-style sheets of analysis."
  
  ECO and BCO refer to "Encyclopedia or Chess Openings" and "Batsford Chess Openings," respectively.
