MasterCAM Tutorials, postprocessor, and NC file generation questions

Does anyone have a good source for MasterCAM tutorials? I just got
MasterCAM 8 and I also have access to 10. I have used FeatureCAM pretty
extensively but it was a bit different. Also, does anybody have a
postprocessor for a basic hobby-type CNC mill without spindle controls, M
codes, or that sort of stuff. I am running my Taig CNC with steppers under
EMC2, and some basic code I made with a standard VMC-style postprocessor
would have caused the machine to go nuts.
Also, since my Taig has manual, non-preset tools (it's got an ER-16
spindle), I always run my ops as separate programs, one program for each
tool. In MasterCAM, is there an easy way to have it automatically spit out
a separate NC file for each operation or, preferably, each tool? I know you
can select the operations individually, but it would be nice if it did it
all automatically...
Thanks very much for any ideas
