making htaccess to work with nginx

Hi i have purchased a remote plugin for amember script ([login to view URL]) i want to use the mod_rewrite feature on my nginx server (file servers where remote plugin must be installed to). main amember install script is located on my webserver which uses apache. apparently its possible to make htaccess work with nginx. so i can use mod_rewrite. so anyone experienced in making mod_rewrite work on nginx. please contact me. would love to hear from you
