TULSA, Okla. (AP) ? Millions of personal pagers across the country were rendered useless Tuesday when a computer operator inadvertently sent out a command that turned off thousands of satellite receivers. Space Com, a Tulsa-based satellite transmission service, had to manually reprogram the receivers one by one. About 95 percent of service was restored by the end of the workday, and the remainder was expected to be back by Wednesday morning. Space Com has contracts with five of the 10 largest paging companies. Its biggest contract is with Pagenet, which has more than 6 million pagers across the country. Pagenet could not estimate how many of its customers were without service. "Have we had problems? We've had mqjor problems resulting from this outage," said Pagenet spokesman Gary Hartman in Bridgeport, Conn. Paging Network of New York, which has 5 million customers nationwide, reported a 20 percent increase in complaints from customers on Tuesday. The biggest concern was in the medical field, where doctors are on 24-hour emergency stand-by.

Women in pantsuits let may not maxe me Desi-aressea list m m't Circuit Judge Joseph Wilson's court, res but there are weightier things to deal with, lawyers said Tuesday, a day afin ter Wilson stopped a hearing and told an one female attorney her clothing was )S. inappropriate, mt "As long as people are neat and i to clean... I don't think it should make or- a lot of difference," said Lee Robinson, is- president of the Charleston County [is Bar Association. It's kind of a silly issue." Robinson said she does not wear pants to court because she believes i her clients expect it. "On the other / hand... I think I look just as nice in a pantsuit as a skirt," she said. On Monday, Wilson called lawyer Heather Smith to the bench to comment on her pantsuit. Wilson would n- not allow Ms. Smith to enter a guilty ior plea on behalf of a woman facing rs firearms charges, The State reported. Wilson did not return phone calls al- Tuesday. He told the newspaper, "If ite a man were to come to court without jo, a tie, I'd ask him to put on a tie." ie- The judge said Ms. Smith criticized him as sexist, but that was not what 3d he intended. lid Ms. Smith denied calling Wilson ot sexist but would not comment further )f- on Tuesday.

Rules that used to specify what was considered appropriate dress for lawyers appearing in court no longer exist, Ms. Erwin said. Judges have the power to control their courtrooms and differ in what they think shows disrespect, she said. "The rules with regard to dress have been evolving over the past 20 to 30 years," said state Chief Justice Ernest A. Finney Jr. Finnev and Justice Jean Teal the Supreme Court's only woman, refused to comment specifically about the issue of lawyers' clothing because they might have to deal with it if a grievance were filed against the judge. However, Finney said he did not recall ever criticizing a female lawyer's attire. "I really don't think our judicial system would come to a screeching halt if men didn't wear ties or women didn't wear dresses or judges didn't wear robes," Columbia attorney Bob Guild said. Herbert A. Johnson, a University of South Carolina law professor who teaches a mock trial course, said he saw nothing wrong with allowing his female students to argue their case in a conservative pantsuit instead of a skirt and jacket. Pantsuits also are considered acceptable attire at some companies. "I have people working with me who wear pantsuits," said Fred Hannon, a NationsBank spokesman. Employees there are asked to dress appropriately for their job and take cues from coworkers, he said. Li "It's (the autoclave) like a big pressure cooker," Lovell said.

Lovell said the autoclave was not the cause the explosion. "It was not an equipment failure; it was simply an accident, a very unfortunate situation but an accident," he said.
