How come Fixation does not support Accuclock for chess.net?

Accuclock is used by chess.net for move timestamping like timestamp is used for the ICC or timeseal for the FICS. chess.net refuses to supply me with the source code for Accuclock. Therefore, I am unable to provide built-in support for Accuclock within Fixation. In e-mails I have received from chess.net, they stated that they are looking at releasing a stand-alone component (e.g. shared library) but nothing has appeared since I originally made the inquiries in October 1999. I did not receive a response to a February 2000 update message I sent to them.
