Koala Linker

- Take a 40 block Koala image and compress it
- Link the compressed file to an existing file up to 171 blocks (estimated)
- No knowledge of linking necessary, the program does it for you
- The produced file displays your Koala image and then executes the attached file.
- No programming experience needed
