<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">executed as a program</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for ran that I've seen before include "Tore" , "was in charge" , "Was candidate" , "Operated; hurried" , "Managed; operated" .)
