[This is from an email originally written by Troy Davis]


The original unadf, i.e.:

http://lclevy.club.fr/adflib/unadf.html

...could not extract directories that contained spaces and/or single quote 
(') characters.  It gives you an error similar to "sh: unable to mkdir", 
etc.  Changing the following two lines in Demo/unadf.c fixes this problem:

Line 148 becomes:  sprintf(sysbuf,"%s \"%s\"",MKDIR,buf);

Line 152 becomes:  sprintf(sysbuf,"%s \"%s\"",MKDIR,entry->name);

Reproducible: Always

I was surprised to see that upstream is still alive on this one, so I have sent notification of the bug (as well as a couple of others).

When a new version is released, I'll post another bug.
