(Note Version 4.34 and later no longer require a Patch)
Note: in order to facilitate feed holds during Tapping the The PC will set the MCode Var to -2 when the operator requests a feedhold while tapping.  The C Program that performs the Tap cycle should watch for this and if a -2 is observed pause the tap motion if possible.  The PC may then set the MCode to 0 to instruct the C Program to resume the tapping motions.
