AFAIK, the older VTK readers don't allow you to read all the
attributes in one go but as you notice you can read them in one at a
time.  If you want to simply convert your data files to binary I
recommend using the newer XML format and using the vtk2xml.py script
thats in Utilities.  It does not handle field data but reads all other
attributes from your older data and writes an out an appropriate xml
file.
