Usage:

   UNSTUCK.EXE [[<x> <y>] [z]]

      x : optional, column number, range 1 - width of the screen in characters
      y : optional, row number, range 1 - height of the screen in characters

      z : optional, number of seconds before it stops, range 1 - 3600

Examples:

   UNSTUCK.EXE   
   
      Use the mouse to select the stuck pixel(s). The number of seconds is the       
      default of 20 seconds. 

   UNSTUCK.EXE 300

      Use the mouse to select the stuck pixel(s). The number of seconds is 300
      or 5 minutes.

   UNSTUCK.EXE 1 1 20

      The position is column 1, row 1 (top left corner of the screen), and the
      number of seconds is 20.


How this should work:

According to http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Stuck-Pixel-on-an-LCD-Monitor it's a
method to fix stuck pixels on a LCD monitor.

A pixel can be dead or stuck. A stuck pixel usually shows a color. Dead pixels
are often black or white. First check if the warranty is expired. The hardware
methods include a specific device, applying pressure or heat.

This is a pixel-fixing software method. Stuck pixels can often be re-energized
by rapidly turning them on and off.

Pixels will be turned on and off rapidly, so the CPU load may be 100%. You can
press <Ctrl-C> to stop it. I cannot mention a number of seconds. But 5 minutes
is perhaps quite long. On the other hand flashing videos may last an hour. The
method is untested, because I don't have stuck pixels.


Installation:

Stuck pixels should be quite rare, but an INSTALL.CMD is included. Full screen
is recommended, because that may torture less pixels. It will try to switch to
80x43 to reduce the number of pixels per character.
