migrating (cloning?) DTS mapping

I have a DTS package on SQL Server 2000 that loads a table from a text file daily. The text file has 148 distinct fields that are mapped to a corresponding 148 columns on the table. I need to recreate the package to SQL Server 2005. Is there any shortcut to replicating the mapping from DTS to SSIS or do I need to redo from the beginning?

If there are 148 columns in both source and destination then you can probably use the Import Wizard to build the package for you and then adapt it as you wish. very easy and very quick.
