You also need the control files at time of backup.

I suggest you download Howard Rogers pdf on this.

http://www.geocities.com/howardjr2000/backup_and_recovery.htm

There are also numerous backup and recovery manuals. The definitive source for 8i is:
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76993/toc.htm

From your question, the most pertinent chapter of the above link seems to be,
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76993/performi.htm#14311

There are also numerous posts on google about this.
