No, they don't, as of one month ago. Moreover, as of that time they did not forsee porting to the NeXT any time soon. If I may venture into the realm of speculation, I'd wager that it's because of NeXT's assinine refusal to give machines to major software developers free of cost. P'haps with NeXT's much-publicized change of heart, this will change and we'll see a port of Informix to the NeXT. I wouldn't hold your breath, though.
