Good question,

I am aware that there are differences, but do any of the differences
in the rules affect the program.  By this I mean, I do not know of
any special programing that is required for FIDE vs USCF rules, time
settings for an event maybe, but I can not think of any thing that
would result in a difference in play?  Does not mean there are not
some, I just do not know of any.
