[Dx4win] JT65 Signal Reports?

Previously I asked for a slight modification to the "599" signal report 
in DX4WIN for JT65 users. In JT65, the signal report is the 
signal-to-noise ratio in dB. Actually it is the signal/(signal+noise) 
ratio, so the value is ALWAYS negative.  S/N = -10 dB is a strong 
signal, S/N=-25 dB is weak.

The requested change is that the field allow a minus (-) sign, with a 
format "-nn" in addition to the implicit positive number.
In addition to the sign, the numeric range needs to be widened; 
RST=00-10 is rejected,  while RST=11 and higher passes the test.

Has anything happened on my earlier request? Is there any hope for us 
JT65 users other than sticking signal reports into notes fields? Are 
there any other JT65 users that are similarly frustrated?
