CVF, as in Compaq Visual Fortran, has no problem with it, the problem is
with the *substandard* (as in quality) compilers you're using. i.e.

character(len=1), parameter :: backslash = "\\"
print*, backslash
end

compiles and runs w/o whimper, Furthermore, stripped of ghastly
committee decorations it also runs w/professional grade PC compilers for
about 20 years now.
