Version 1.0 is now available for download at http://www.e-init.com/.

Announcing the launch of the official website for E-InitiativeTM at http://www.e-init.com/, which is a new initiative tracking tool for the d20 system. The “EIA(tm)” tracks initiative order, rounds left for spells cast, and hit points left. It also gives the DM the ability to roll dice electronically, which includes saves associated with each particular character.
Right now, a beta version is available for download, which is basically an unregistered copy of version 1.0 that I won’t allow you to register yet until it’s suitable for shipment. Version 1.0 should be ready to go by June 15, but in the mean time, the beta version will provide an excellent view into how the EIA(tm) works.
There are a handful of initiative trackers for sale, right? So what’s the difference between all those tools and the EIA(tm)? Although the EIA(tm) is a 100% stand-alone program, it interfaces with the popular character generator tool, E-Tools*. After exporting an E-Tools character to XML format, that XML file can be read into the EIA(tm) so that the character’s hit points, initiative and save modifiers, and spells known are available to the EIA(tm). In the alternative, you can use the EIA(tm)'s character creation screen to create your own characters. As other character generator formats are brought to my attention, those will be supported in future versions.
I’ll be using my WotC thread (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=859270) to answer any questions you may have, and from that give and take, I’ll develop a FAQ.
