Default Computer program for drawing flowchart of opening moves and branches?

I would like to create a chart that maps out, like a tree, various
branches to an opening. I can print out the visually easy-to-follow
diagram and take it with me when I practice without a computer.
Basically as I learn a new opening and learn different ways it can go,
I can practise and prepare myself by knowing what I like to answer to
various moves my opponent might make.

Any suggestions? Or is there a better way (or toll) to study an
opening you want to suggest?

Thanks!

How 'bout just picking up a copy of MCO? It'd save you a lot of time.

I always liked the chart found in the back of The Oxford Companion to Chess by

David Hooper and Kenneth Whyld. It would be easy to select your opening of
choice and build on it and extend it to a greater depth with the right sort of
spread sheet. I wonder if anyone has done this. In its present form in the back
of the book it is rather hard to read, but very logical in its presentation.

You can use ECO tables for this purpose. They don't look exactly like a tree,
but the information that you want is there.

Many chess programs can print ECO tables: Chess Assistant, Chessbase, and
Bookup come to mind.
