I realize that most discussion in this group is about formating
text, however, I cannot find a more suitable group to post this
question to.  Sorry if this is a gross missuse of this group's
bandwidth!

I am looking for places (hopefully free, via ftp) to get machine
readable text

e.g.
	the Bible
	the Talmud (sp?)
	works of literature/philosophy (Shakespere, Aristotle, etc)
	political/social documents (Bill of Rights, etc)
	.
	.
	.

I am interested in such texts solely for research purposes and
will not be reselling them.

Thanx for any pointers,
