There's not much. It was a very rudimentary "emulation", consisting more or less of just the "memory" functions that you already mentioned.

Here's the definition file for "rtm.dll":

LIBRARY RTM EXETYPE WINDOWS CODE LOADONCALL FIXED DATA LOADONCALL MOVEABLE EXPORTS WEP @1 RESIDENTNAME MEMALLOCATEBLOCK @5 MEMFREEBLOCK @6 MEMRESIZEBLOCK @7 MEMGETBLOCKSIZE @20 MEMQUERYFREEMEM @21 ; dummy33 @33 NONAME ; dummy34 @34 NONAME InitSwapping @35 DoneSwapping @36 ; dummy47 @47 NONAME ; dummy49 @49 NONAME ; dummy50 @50 NONAME ; dummy51 @51 NONAME ; dummy52 @52 NONAME MEMINITSWAPFILE @58 MEMCLOSESWAPFILE @92 ; RTMGETVERSION @17152

The "swapping" functions in the emulation didn't contain any functionality.
