Oops.  Sorry.

I haven't updated the external/uploaded highlight.el
wrt what I use myself locally. I still have some
changes in progress, and I haven't gotten around to
finishing them.  Guess I shouldn't have mentioned it
at all in this context - apologies.

In the uploaded version the zones commands use the
word "regions" instead of "zones" in their names:
`hlt-[un]highlight-regions'.  And you're right,
command `zz-add-zones-from-highlighting' is also
missing from the uploaded version.

In any case, the latest uploaded version is always
on Emacs Wiki.  Get it there, not from any package
repository.

https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/highlight.el

I don't guarantee that its functions for zones with
work correctly with the latest uploaded version of
zones.el.  The external versions of zones.el and
highlight.el might be out-of-sync; dunno.  YMMV.

Very sorry for the trouble and misinformation.
