Peshitta NT in Hebrew with Vowel Pointing

Ewan MacLeod has made available the Peshitta New Testament with Hebrew letters and vowel pointing.

In contrast to the current PEH database, this text contains vowels, which makes it a useful addition to BibleWorks. The presence of vowels makes it easier at times to understand the text, and it helps one learn how to pronounce the text. In addition, there are some minor differences between the two texts. For best use of this text, use the Text Comparison facility in BibleWorks to highlight the differences when you are studying the Peshitta.BW Parallel PEH/PHVText downloaded from the web archive of www.peshitta.org. It is unclear who (if anyone) owns the copyright for this text. An email to the site to request permission to use the text bounced. The current peshitta.org site gives blanket permission to use its materials.

It's one of the most exciting days of my life to find online downloadable texts of Delitzsch's translation and the Peshitta in Hebrew but alas my computer cannot find the webpages for these sites!

I ask in all sincerity, what am I to do?
