Here's both a bug report in C68II, and its fix (less work for you CvW :-)
Try compiling & executing the 5-line program:

main()
{
printf("Is that good?\
\no, wait, were's the newline?\n");
}

You'll get:

Is that good?no, wait, were's the newline?

The fix is pretty simple: In getsym.c:getsch(), at line 257, you have:

    case '\n':
      getch();               <=== the line 257
      return getsch();

Simply delete the offending line, and you've got it all. For a \-newline,
getch() (get next character) was called thrice; obviously one more time than
necessary to wipe out the backslash and the newline character. That's why
the first character of the next line was not taken into account...

Let's call this patch2. Now, if you really need a cdif... :-)
