Don't bother with this code
You won't find the classes you need

Can you post the source for UniHash and CDictionary on here? Thanks

There is no CDictionary in this program. There is however Dictionary, but that class is intrinsic to the FCL. It's in the System.Collections.Generic namespace.

I disagree. Any competent programmer can knock up a replacement for UniHash and then this code does the job, albeit via a somewhat poor implementation in places but this implementation is entirely functional.

It really should have implemented the System.IO.Stream abstract class along the lines of the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream or System.IO.Compression.BrotliStream, but such is life; sometimes "following the best practices" is more work than just getting the job done.

I just noticed the UniHash class isn't really even used. The only spot where "hash" is being done is in the GetHashCode implementation, and there it's just a uint.

The output does seem to have a lot of redundancy. Something can't be quite right here. Could it be that this is an integer based implementation instead of byte based?
