[B-Greek] English to Greek

There is an interlinear that has Mounce's name on it, it is an interlinear
that follows English word order and places the Greek words under the English
order.  It uses the NIV and is published by Zondervan.  The exact title is
alluding me right now (I've done two all-nighters in the last week trying to
get gradumacated).  I hope that is what you are looking for.  It's something
like the NIV English-Greek Interlinear New Testament or along those lines.
For personal use I don't like it too much, just because I don't like
following English word order in exegesis, but my Greek mentor recommends it
to his classes (his philosophy, mine too, is anything to keep you in the
Greek is fair game to use, even interlinears).
