To be honest, I don't have any idea (and my whole p4 experience is less than one week long). As our local p4 guru explained to me, a "stream" is some kind of writeable area in depot and every "client" can have 0 or 1 "streams". If a client has a stream, then it's called "streamable" and one can submit changes to this particular area (which means more or less directory) by using this particular client. I don't know if this story is sane, but at least this explains my problems while I tried to submit changes.

Cheers,
Ilya
