Default Large Data Import (2548 columns/rows)

I just found the microsoft solution to importing greater than 255 columns
into a workbook. This really works great. Unfortunately it only goes to
around 510 columns. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/272729) In my case, I
need 2548 columns and 2548 rows. Obviously the rows are not an issue. I need
to modify this macro example to continue to run beyond the 510 columns. I'm
having a tough time doing that.. although it shouldn't be that hard.. it
would seem.

My file is a comma delimited text file (CSV) with only numbers in it except
for the first column. Don't know if this matters, but the numbers are mostly
0's with a few smatterings of numbers less than 1000. The first row contains
the column numbers (1-2548).

I was thinking of breaking it at an even 200 columns with 148 columns
remaining to be placed on the last sheet (Sheet13). Can someone give me some
hints on how to modify this thing to do that?
