      The author and \textit{Yi-Jen Lee} [Topology 38, No. 4, 861--888 (1999; Zbl 0959.58015); Geom. Topol. 3, 369--396 (1999; Zbl 0929.57019)] defined and computed a notion of Reidemeister torsion for the Morse theory of closed 1-forms on a finite-dimensional manifold. The main purpose of this paper is to give an a-priori proof that this Morse theory invariant is a topological invariant.
