One gotcha about getting all zone names that no-one's mentioned: the 
response packets will be full-size ATP packets, up to the last one which 
is only as large as it needs to be. I had several hours of frustration 
because I'd assumed that if I specified a smaller-than-maximum buffer size 
to ATP, I'd get my responses in suitably-sized packets. Not so: my small 
buffers did not overflow but the rest of each packet was simply lost. So 
use a buffer of 578 bytes, the size of a maximum ATP response.
