Can anyone point me to some software that will open WARC files as a website, rather than as a text file (which is how it opens in my browser)?

I can't recommend any of these since I haven't used them but there are a number of tools listed here that might be helpful: http://www.archiveteam.org/index.php?title=The_WARC_Ecosystem#WARC_viewer

The only tool in COPTR that supports this is Wayback. Some time ago, in order to make it easier to use, I created a command line tool that launches Wayback with a sensible default configuration, called wayback-player.
There is also a set of related Python tools, warcprox, pywb (Python Wayback), and pywb-webrecorder. The Python Wayback implementation is easy to install (pip install pywb) and just needs an appropriate configuration file in order to work.
