UTC = universal coordinate time(English translation of French
abbreviation)
= GMT = Greenwich mean time
PDT = UTC - 7 = Pacific daylight time (west coast of USA in summer)
PST = UTC - 8 = Pacific standard time (west coast of USA in winter)
PHT = UTC + 8 = Philippines(Asia/Manila)
A quick search on google.com turned up the following.
There is a decent map at
http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/tzones.html as well as conversion tools.
And a pretty thorough conversion tools at
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/,
http://www-atp.llnl.gov/atp/tzconvert.cgi.
I couldn't find any list of all 3 letter timezone abbreviations, I
think they are non-standard sometimes.
HTH,
