No more SID in Oracle 8i?

Now, the following tnsname.ora seems to work with my machines using Oracle 8i (at least it works for sqlplus).

However, if I understand it correctly, the use of the SID is outdated with Oracle 8i and maybe things are just running in compatibility mode? Maybe this is fine for sqlplus, but maybe this is why my Pro*C program is having problems?

Here is my tnsnames.ora:

# TNSNAMES.ORA Configuration File:/mnt/oracle/OraHome/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
# Generated by Oracle Net8 Assistant

TWEB =
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = hidden-hostname)(PORT = 1521))     )
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = TEST2)
    )
  )
