Hi Waldenio,

re:
> Here is one image.

This image is for the 3.9 um (shortwave IR) channel; this is BAND 2.
Your previous note said that 'area2png' is not understanding images
that are labeled as BAND 4 or 5.

The information for the image you provided looks OK:

% imglist.k CPTEC/GS-39 FORM=ALL

Please send me either a BAND 4 (10.7 um thermal IR) or 6 (13.3 um CO2) image so 
I
can look at them.  Thanks...

Cheers,

Tom
