To my knowledge, Rational isn't developing a C++ environment.  Perhaps 
you are referring to  (BLATANT ADVERTISING WARNING):
Rational Apex.  Rational's new software development environment for
Ada, running exclusively within Unix (bye-bye expensive hardware!).
It is currently running under RS/6000s and SPARC platforms.  I don't
know if it's available for other platforms (I'm not speaking for Rational,
I'm just reading their announcement on my desk).  It runs under
X (using the Motif user interface), and doesn't appear to be like
the "old" environment AT ALL (OK, that's my guess, looking at the tiny
1" picture on the announcement).
