XYPic doesn't work...

XYPic doesn't work...

[Zeljko Vrba]

I tried to use a xymatrix from XYpic package... It just prints a message
like <xymatrix 2x2
and hangs forever...

What's the problem?

Hi Zeljko,

Could you a little bit more precise on what you typed in and what result you
get?

I tried this file:
-------------<cut>---------
\input xymatrix.tex

\xy
  \xymatrix{A&B\\C&D}
\endxy  
\bye
-------------<cut>---------

And it worked without any problems with teTeX beta 990903 and a recent ConTeXt
(1999.10.24).
I get as log:
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/xymatrix.tex
(/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/xy.tex Bootstrap'ing:
catcodes, docmode, (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/generic/xypic/xyrecat.tex)

BTW, this is m-xypic.tex: 

\input xy

\xyoption{all}

\unprotect

\appendtoks
  \xywithoption{tips}{\let\tipsize@@\bodyfontpoint}%
\to\everybodyfont

\protect \endinput

so loading comes down to:

\usemodule[xypic]

If you can trace down the problem I can add bypasses / fixes or sort it out with Ross Moore,
