PRODRG topologies are (supposedly) compatible with Gromos force fields, but 
TIP4P-EW is not implemented for any of these parameter sets.  Any attempt to 
combine these would inevitably result in fatal errors from grompp about missing 
atomtypes.  More to the point, one should never mix and match force fields. 
See, for instance, the discussion at:
