keta,

there should be some restart or trajectory file, right?
last time i used DL_POLY (which was a loooooong time ago)
that was plain ascii and contained a header with some
timestep, systemsize and cell size information and then
the coordinates/velocities/forces. if this is still the 
case, then you could easily cut-and-paste them into a 
cpmd input template.

of course you could also write a small program to convert
the output, but that is usually more effort than just
edit out the unneeded parts with a (smart) text editor.

regards,
        axel.
