Your topology (topol.top) will look similar to the following

--------------------------
; this depends on which force field you chose
#include ffG45a3.itp

#include glyc.itp
#include spc.itp

; .... perhaps some more stuff

[ system ]
Box with Glycines

[ molecules ]
;compound   # mols
GLYC             200
SOL              1234
---------------------------------

You see, grompp goes through your input configuration (your  
200glyc.pdb) and assigns the topologies of the components simply in the  
order specified in the [ molecules ] sections. Thus, you want to have  
200 glycine molecules first, and then (in my example) 1234 solvent SOL  
(presumably SPC water) molecules. It simply repeats the glyc topology  
(glyc.itp) 200 times. (At least that's my working understanding of the  
process...)

You need it as the input for the -c option of grompp. To create your  
tpr you will have to say something similar to

	grompp -f my.mdp -c 200glyc.pdb -p topol.top -o run.tpr

Hope that helps,
Oliver
