So “PPN” was the term used in TOPS-10 (and whatever the PDP-6 precursor OS was), and also RSTS-11/RSTS/E, as well. It was decimal in the latter; was it decimal or octal in the PDP-6/10? “UIC” was the term used in RSX-11, and passed on from there into VMS. That was octal in both systems. A separation of terminology indicating some kind of cultural separation within DEC itself?
