they are very different, just have a look. to know more, you should
work your way through the topology file tutorial:
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Training/Tutorials/#specializedtopics

you will also see from that, that you need different
strategy to get a psf file. all you need is to assign
 the correct atom type and then generate all angle,
dihedral and improper definitions.
