It can be quite tricky. I have experienced success with KSS files
produced with abinit 5.4.4p and current versions of DP and EXC (abinit
5.5.4 should be okay too). KSS are binary files, compiler and platform
dependent. So you have to check for endianess and record markers length
if you want to process KSS files produced on a different kind of
hardware and/or another compiler (even different version). So working on
the same hardware with the same compiler (and version) should be fine
but if you mix, you'll have to look at -fconvert=big-endian
-frecord-marker=4 (gfortran) or -convert big_endian (Intel) or similar
compiler flags.
Another way to solve this kind of problem is to work with NetCDF files.
DP should be able read Abinit ETSF-IO files.

Kind regards,

Alain
