How to use GROMACS force field in NAMD?

Hi All,

    I want to use Gromacs force filed in NAMD for DPPC bilayer
simulation. I did following: put conf.gro and topol.top files in working
directory and add them in NAMD .conf file. The topol.top file includes
all the necessary itp files (dppc.itp, lipid.itp, ffgmx.itp, etc). The
needed files are in working directory. However I couldnt perform!!!!
    The errors are: DPPC undefined or "Required bondtype NL--CH2
(function 1) not found" and lot of error something like above mentioned.
 Maybe I have to put all gromacs files in working directory??

Thanks!

Armen
