If you are referring to the ZONEINFO directory, those files are timezone
data files that are used by some programs to calculate the correct time
anywhere in the world. If you don't use or write any DJGPP programs
that need to have this data, it's perfectly fine to compress or delete
it.
For more information, look in the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list
(v2/faq202b.zip from SimTel), section 22.16.
