Getting Xy-pic

The easiest way to retrieve the latest version of Xy-pic is through the Xy-pic home pages [7] on the World Wide Web. It can also be retrieved from Internet ftp host ftp.diku.dk in /diku/users/kris/TeX as well as from ftp.mpce.mq.edu.au in /pub/maths/TeX in files starting with xy. Finally, Xy-pic has been contributed to the CTAN archives where it is located in the directory macros/generic/diagrams/xypic.
