MaxThink offers 5 Megabytes of demonstration hypertexts that might serve
your needs.  This material *may* be at some FTP site unknown to me.  You
can get it on disk from MaxThink.

Although the content is not public domain, it is readily available. 
Much of it will be in ASCII format, and you can join individual
collections to make larger ones for your experiments.

Product is called Demo hypertext and price is US$19.95

This is distributed as shareware and may be available to you from some
local source.  

I am interested in the idea of automatic retrieval and would like to
hear more about your work.
