Separating real part and imaginary part from each other

Hi,

suppose I have the expression

f(z) = (a*z+b) / (c*z+d) with z=x+I*y

I did the calculation by hand and was able to separate real part fom
imag. part to obtain something like this:

g=f(x+I*y) = Re(g) + I * Im(g)

But I don't know how to do this in Mathematica. I tried FullSimplify,
Together, Apart, they didn't work. Can you help me?

Alexander
