Hi everyone!

I'm solving an equations here that returns the hypergeometric function: 2_F_1(a,b;c;z). However, I know that I can respresent this as (1-z)^(-a) 2_F_1(a, c-b;,c;z/(1-z)), for example. How can I tell Maple to switch form one form to the other, or better yet, ensure that the soultions it outputs are of the second form in the first place? I have explored the hypergeom and convert help pages but have had no luck. Thanks very much!
