Hi !

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
