Bud, I don't recommend doing this.  First of all, 8.05 supports JT65.
There is no need to import it as a different mode.  Otherwise, when
exported and uploaded to LoTW, the QSO will not match.

My suggestion (as others have suggested) is to import FT8 as some mode
you never use, like AMTOR.  Then when the next version of DX4WIN is
released, change all your AMTOR QSOs to FT8.

If you have an ADIF file, you can modify the MODE:# field for each
QSO, changing it to some other value.  Make sure # corresponds to the
# of characters in the mode, for example:

    <MODE:3>FT8 => <MODE:5>AMTOR
