我能自己编写压缩代码吗？不用压缩工具来进行

这是用是用霍夫曼树做的C语言文件压缩解压缩程序
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
struct head
{
unsigned char b; /*the charactor*/
long count; /*the frequency*/
long parent,lch,rch; /*make a tree*/
char bits[256]; /*the haffuman code*/
}
header[512],tmp;

void compress()
{
char filename[255],outputfile[255],buf[512];
unsigned char c;
long i,j,m,n,f;
long min1,pt1,flength;
FILE *ifp,*ofp;
printf("source filename:");
gets(filename);
ifp=fopen(filename,"rb");
if(ifp==NULL)
{
printf("source file open error!\n");
return;
}
printf("destination filename:");
gets(outputfile);
ofp=fopen(outputfile,"wb");
if(ofp==NULL)
{
printf("destination file open error!\n");
return;
}
