It seems like there are some files related to the databases at the ftp site: <http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/WIT2/>. The related files were last updated on 2002.

I found it via searching at google: `site:*.mcs.anl.gov/ WIT`.

Which reports also a [page](http://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/tech_reports/reports/P694.html) about the database. There seems to be a project to develop WIT3, because there is a mailing list for [developers](https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/wit3_development_team), maybe you can ask them more details if you have problems with the database.
