There is now a clear distinction in English between these two.

Program = computer program             only

programme = such as you buy in a theatre  or  a programme of study  etc

I'm also not sure what you mean about  practice and practise: one is the
verb = to practise   like to advise   : and the other is the noun   a good
practice    like   a good piece of advice

noun = c
verb = s

Interesting!  An "orthographic loan" or "orthographic Americanism"!
