Gustavo, correct me if i'm wrong, but it appears that the /sup/argobs images (such as http://www.unidata.at.fcen.uba.ar/sup/argobs20110425_18.gif ) are produced by the script arg_super.exe, while /sup/Margobs images ( http://www.unidata.at.fcen.uba.ar/sup/Margobs20110414_15.gif ) are produced by 123-123.exe sound right? $mapfil is defined in 123-123.exe but absent in arg_super.exe which would explain why you're seeing state boundaries on the "Margobs" images and not the "argobs" images.
