Rman 8i vs 9i question - delete obsolete

In 9i rman I can set the retention policy to whatever I want and delete all
obsolete backups based on that setting.

I cannot find, however, a similar feature for 8i rman.  Is there a way to
set this, and if not, how does rman determine what an obsolete backup is?

 

Thanks,
