Initial Comment:
Trying this in ups.conf

product=Protection Station

it seems to be interpreted as "product" is "Protection", skipping the trailing "Station"

using this seems to work

product<space>=<space>"Protection Station"

Message:
Fred misunderstood the issue...
quotes are indeed necessary for multiple words values.
The issue is the related to spacing wrt the space sign.

1) working version, as expected:

* desc in ups.conf

        desc = "foo bar"

* "upsc -L" output:

        simu: foo bar

2) not working version #1 (no space before/after the equal):

* desc in ups.conf

        desc="foo bar"

* "upsc -L" output:

        simu: "foo

2) not working version #1 (no space before/after the equal):

* desc in ups.conf

        desc="foo bar"

* "upsc -L" output:

        simu:

This needs investigation.

"If you need to set a value to something containing spaces, it has to be contained within "quotes" to keep the parser from splitting up the line..."
