If you have the PSF file, ptraj can read psf/dcd combos, at least
normally... Try it out and if it doesn't work, let me know and we can try
to fix it, but in general I've run the program with CHARMM produced files
without trouble.

(There is no easy way to convert PSF->prmtop at present; while you can
convert the DCD, you will still need a 1-to-1 corresponding prmtop from
AMBER for it)

Good luck.
