Origins of Hierarchical Filesystems

Hi folks,

writing a chapter on filesystems, and was wondering if anyone knows the
origins of the hierarchical filesystem (and no, it wasn't MS-DOS 2.0 :-))

I know TOPS-10 and friends used it, so it's got to be at least that old.

Any takers?

I'm looking for a ballpark year and the name of the OS and company...

Probably just reply to me only; I'll be happy to summarize for the group.

Thanks!
