Other people have been working on this. Anton Feenstra made a converter
from AMBER to GROMACS which requires you to have an AMBER topology. Erik
Lindahl and other people in Stanford have worked on a native
implementation. I don't know what the status of that is.

As an alternative you could try the OPLS force field.
