Yes. but is still confusing.
You can't reset Constants values once they been initialized. (e.g #define,
constant directives)
With Cblock you create constants related to an incremental address (yes you
can reserve consecutive addresses with res directive). You can change and
reset the value stored in that address, which is related to that constant.
People used to call them variables. Technically they are not, but they
behave as. :)
