I think I can, I think I can, I think I can ;-)

That depends on which machine you have, I believe, but it's not horribly
expensive.

Yes, though you will hear amazement from the sales folks.  *They* don't know
it's still available :-).

Yeah, well.

There are a few packages out there, costing from the low thousands up into
the tens or hundres of thousands.  SRC is, I believe, the cheapest commercial
version.  It will not, however, do anything special with Qedit files.  If you
have Qedit files, be sure to check that what you buy handles them correctly
before you buy it.

All that being said, you very likely have a very good librarian package
already on your 3000.  RCS is doing well for us.  I've got a front-end
program which allows it to smoothly handle Qedit and MPE flat files and we're
coming to depend on it more and more.  There were a couple of folk with whom
I shared my program, but I don't know if they are using it.  I'm happy to
share it with you as well if you think it would be of help.

By the by, I don't handle BASIC files natively yet because I don't know how to
read them, but I can give you a workaround for that as well.
