How was this found out?  I can't make heads-nor-tails of your website.
 Do you have an actual implementation then?

You don't need machine code.  You don't need a gui, or anything else.
You need an implementation written in c++, python, or whatever, that
simply takes a file and outputs the compressed format.  Then we can
compare the algorithm against real photos and see how it performs.
