CDT stands for Central Daylight Time. It's the time zone that runs down
through Chicago and Milwaukee in the US. It is 5 hours behind Greenwich
Mean Time.

Now, if remember this correctly from my trip in 94, Vancouver is in the
Pacific Daylight Time zone. That makes it 2 hours behind CDT.

If you're running a 32bit windows system (Win95 or Windows NT4), then
there is a time zone thingy in the Control Panel settings for Date Time.
It has a map of the world and lets you drop down a list of all the
timezones in the world. It's a handy little thing for figuring out the
time in someplace you're not.
