Yehuda,
Thanks. That seems pretty good.
We could turn this into a routine that could be mapped onto terms more
generally in an expression.
NDSignSwitch = (-Numerator[#])/(-Denominator[#]) &;
test = {-((2*x)/(-1 + z)), -((2*y)/(-1 + z)), -1};
NDSignSwitch /@ test
{(2*x)/(1 - z), (2*y)/(1 - z), -1}

Hi David,
How about
(- Numerator /@ test)/(- Denominator /@ test)
this is not error prone.
I'm almost certaint that there is more efficient way of doing this.
I'll try to find it later
