Yes there is a public domain version of the KJV that is available through
anonymous ftp at tank.uchicago.edu (128.135.4.27).  The file you want is
/pub/public/bible -- this is an ascii version of the KJV that is UNIX
"compress"ed and "tar"ed.  When you un"tar" the file, it gives you a separate
"compress"ed file for each book of the Bible.

If you have any questions, send me e-mail.
