No, not for swapping.  When RHIDE (or any DJGPP program) runs on Windows, 
swapping (or, more accurately, paging) is entirely up to Windows. Windows 
uses its swap file to implement virtual memory on behalf of all programs, 
including the DJGPP ones.

On plain DOS, the swap file comes from CWSDPMI.  In any case, the 
application itself doesn't do anything with the swap file.

So, it is correct that those RHaaa etc. files are temporary files, but 
they are not used for swapping.  They are used to redirect the compiler's 
output (and then display it in a window).
