gmx2gromos was started by me when i was still in bochum
with the intent to use gromacs tools to build OPLS/AA
topologies for qm/mm and then run them with CPMD, which
requires gromos format topology files.

please note that the format in cp2k (and cpmd) corresponds to
the gromos 96 file format. a minimal and reverse engineered
description is also in the qm/mm section of the cpmd manual.
perhaps somebody near you has an old gromos documentation
collecting dust on a shelf.

nope. since the gromacs tpr file is binary, you need to use
gromacs library functions to access to contents and convert them
to gromos. reading the gromos documentation is the better way.
that being said, you don't need to write gromos format topologies
to use the gromos force field. you just need the parameters and a
topology file in a format that is readable by cp2k.
